Pros

Exciting, leading-edge high-tech manufacturer. Lots of success over the past 10 years, is now emerging as the Leader in the mass-storage industry. Future appears bright.

Cons

Past few years have seen huge acquisitions of other, similar companies. Upper Management seems to be reeling a bit from overactivity. Employees feel that there is no steady hand at the helm. Lots of disparity regarding pay and benefits for employees of the various entities.
