Pros
Good benefits, decent pay, mostly good people that wanted to be used to their full potential and grow, and the flex time was a good perk.
Cons
Upper management does not have any “care” factor. They expect employees to be loyal to the business without having that loyalty in return. Every person below a director level is nothing more than a number. The RIFs were heartbreaking to go through. It was often wrote off by old-timers as “the Seagate way of doing business” which disturbed me. There is absolutely no upward mobility, no training, no professional development. They hired a hatchet man as the CIO, and turned the company over to a person that expects everyone around him to just be “yes” people: “Sure, Dave, whatever you want, Dave.” It’s ridiculous. If you challenge the status quo as set by the upper echelon of Seagate then you’ll just get laid off in the next round.
