      WD wants cheap labor

      Senior quality assurance engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      HGST lower level management seems to care about their employees. A couple of perks are : Free weekly lunch, in house Crossfit.

      Cons

      Since the WD acquisition, benefits are a joke, more experienced staff are forced out to make way for cheap labor in the form of recent college graduates, salaries are being cut and bonuses are measly or non-existent. It's only a matter of time until the other perks (free lunch, Crossfit) dry up.

      Pros

      The very best people, especially their technical prowess. Good pay, reasonable benefits. A great company with world-class Operations, Manufacturing, and product Quality values.

      Cons

      Too many acquisitions that did not pan out as planned, and too much ongoing consolidation activity impacting the business and morale. With little true new product innovation, especially with majority of customers going all-flash storage, they missed this opportunity by several years and it feels like a slow death now - too little, too late.
