Pros

With the industry going through a major transformation - HGST and its leadership are making the necessary changes (although some are difficult) to set up the company for future success. The company's theme for the year is "accelerate our transformation" - it takes vision, courage and leadership to make it this time of change -- I truly believe we have it!

Cons

Although gain have been made on a culture of collaboration, more is needed.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
