Pros

Everyone at WD is nice. WD does offer a good ESPP but it really is only good when the market swings. Management is personable, understanding and caring.

Cons

There is no clear chain of command. Everything is last minute. There is a lot of non productive work. I spend most of my time fighting fires. WD leaves No time for life outside if work. Working here is hectic to say the least. In a company that is fast paced people seem reluctant to change. For a company of 100k it is run more like a startup. Infrastructure is terrible-many pockets of data which are not accessible unless you know where to find it--which is hard. To many sources if the same data which are not 100% the same. Half the jobs at corporate could be automated.
