Pros

There are generally great people with whom to work with a good benefits package, which can include RSUs, Options, and cash bonuses. Great atmosphere; decent office space in good Irvine location.

Cons

Some of the company is in flux due to the possibility of merging its two current subsidiaries--WD and HGST, which is being held up by China's government getting into the antitrust game.

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
