Pros

-Patient Experienced Employees willing to teach/train the new hires(w/ no experience) when learning/struggling. -Starting salary/pay is not bad for a person like me with only a BS -For the most part, everyone is friendly.

Cons

This is from personal observation(hasn't happened to me yet): There are a couple employees that are very demanding with another employee from another team. Always telling them to do this and that for them, every once in awhile is fine, but some people make it a habit Off topic Con -Cafeteria employee do not know the prices of their items so be careful when youre buying food from the cafeteria they might charge you something different day to day -Diversity isn't that great, but hey if you need them to get the work done i understand

Pros

Western Digital (Irvine, CA) is a good place to work. Good people. Good facility. Fair pay. They have decent benefits.

Cons

The company rides the tides of the PC market and the growing Cloud storage industries. As the market goes, so goes WD. The customers of WD have ups and downs, and so does WD.
