Pros

- Relatively speaking, not as dry and boring company culture as some other large tech firms. Still cringely bad in some instances. - Better and better benefits, still not top tier however. - Wonderful corporate headquarters

Cons

- Clear cultural and racial divide between engineers and management a la class system. - Poor organizational structure. - Noncompetitive compensation.

No future

Pros

The compensation is at least OK or not too far off compare to others. But if work in Norcal, it is lower than others. Work hours is flexible depending on your manager. Things were great 5+ years ago but that's all history now.

Cons

Company on the decline with no light of improvement. WD subsidiary has no future as all future tech investment is in the HGST subsidiary. Content solutions team is a big disaster compare to a year ago and just keeps on getting worse. No more team spirit and employees are being treated like dirt. Engineers were pushed to work day, night and weekends and then all laid off immediately. New SVP in charge since 9 months ago only listens to himself and all politics on growing his power. He has let go 100+ people and brought in his own crew and keeping things to his small circle. Don't join unless you are truly desperate for a job or is a friend of the new person in charge.
