      Old company that needs to get with the times

      Pros

      Generally a solid company in the hard drive sector. I doubt they are going anywhere anytime soon.

      Cons

      - Outdated processes and procedures. - Pay isn't always competitive (bonuses don't count -- especially since they have sucked recently). They will always say that your salary is competitive because of bonuses, but when the company has a bad year, that part of your salary is held hostage. Then your pay might not be competitive anymore, especially if you started here straight out of college. - High deductible health plan. - Knowledge needed to complete tasks is often difficult to obtain.

      Pros

      Good ride while stock price was increasing. Very focused on survival. Will make sure that company survives. Goals are clear.

      Cons

      Lost most human connection with employees. Lots of fear all over about who will be laid off next. Focus on survival has made WD lose focus on employee development.

      Pros

      Very friendly environment. The people there were like a family and definitely looked out for each other. It's a fast-paced environment that's deadline driven. I was nervous at first, but once you're in, they're willing to teach you and get you up to speed. Great base pay and good benefits as well.

      Cons

      When something goes right, it's because of management. When something goes wrongs, it's on you. Workload revolves around projects, meaning sometimes it's slow and other times it's quite busy. Kind of a back-and-forth as far as work goes.
