Unfortunately, Seagate (like all other businesses) struggling with economy, so promotions and advancement potentials are a little "slow", and again (for the same reasons), may have to live with fairly constant threats of cyclic layoffs. Not that I believe Seagate enjoys EITHER, its just a sad side effect "of our economy", but if I had to pick "cons", that is about as bad as it gets, and it isn't directly Seagate's fault?
