      Highly Competitive Industry

      Pros

      Incredibly diverse cutting-edge technology, many highly skilled managers and engineers. Part of a highly competitve industry. Many opportunities for acquiring new knowledge. Variety of career paths.

      Cons

      Unforgiving work environment at times due to extreme pace of development - mistakes are not forgotten. Long hours. Several key directors and VPs are highly insular, usually standing in the way of meeting customer goals in areas of design, reliability and corrective action. Corporate level is often unaware of the bad rep their products have in customer installations and how poorly the new designs meet customer needs. It is therefore extremely difficult to change the tarnished image in the markeplace, where perception is everything.

      Pros

      Great deals on hard drives. Great location if you are living in the south bay. The current CEO is making great decisions on the company's future.

      Cons

      There is too much complacency. Seagate used to be the technology leader, but has been leapfrogged by Western Digital. Certain managers didn't allow for a balanced work and personal life.

      Pros

      Great company if you're looking for a stable place to work for the next 10~20 years. Unless your position was never needed in the beginning, or you do a lousy job, most likely you will not be removed during difficult time. Office politics is about average compared to other company.

      Cons

      1) managers are more concerned about how others view them then coaching/mentoring you 2) many managers/directors are only good task-doers, and very much lack leadership skills 3)micro-managing style is common 4) you can forget about flextime and telecommuting- people like to see you at your desk looking like you're busy (even if u're just surfing the web)
