Seagate Technology Staff Program/Project Manager reviews

* Core benefits are simply average * Monetary compensation is below average * Virtually impossible to be promoted without changing teams * Management and teams are hugely variable--some managers care about their team members and their professional development, others will leave all actual management duties to their direct reports * While *most* coworkers are knowledgeable and hardworking, a significant portion cannot be relied upon

- Low morale - Terrible middle management - no accountability, no skills to motivate their own people, no clue how to manage projects systematically (some of them are a complete mess) - Questionable direction from exec team - complete denial that ssd is a viable threat, even though business is shrinking, constant brainwashing at all hands meetings - Too many people adding no value to company’s products - Very limited opportunity for career progression - Old timer management are too rigid, arrogant, ignorant - Politics is getting worse as the company shrinks and certain people are becoming protective
