Pros

I give two stars to the nice and professional engineers I worked with.

Cons

This is basically a sinking ship. Here are the signs: 1. Over the past few years the focal and promotions are minimum. If you are early in your career, no matter how good seagate's offer looks, don't take it. 2. There is no training at all. 3. No idea what management is doing. They are still having meetings all day long, as usual, but nothing is executed. 4. The worst thing that could happen to a tech company: engineers are being laid off. 5. We don't have anything to celebrate anymore.

Pros

A good work/team culture. Good benefits and HSA.

Cons

Companies performance is low.The upper management couldn't think of any idea other than laying off to show results. Work on very old technologies so your progress in technology may affect you going forward. The teams are usually reluctant to new ideas. Lay offs keep happening every 4 months at least.

Pros

Work Life Balance is decent, some remote/telecommuting in some orgs.

Cons

Too much chaos, many/most expect to be RIF'ed at any point. Feels like company is downsizing to prepare to be purchased/acquired. Most people are long tenured employees and the possible severance package is the major factor keeping people here.
