      Pros

      Work is challenging and good opportunities to strengthen skills in FW debugging. Lower managers and other engineering staff are very respectful and good to work with. Bonuses are excellent. Technology sharing is encouraged.

      Cons

      Surprise layoffs and attrition in the past few years have been hurting moral. Hard to be promoted. Code is matured and not much opportunity to do any major code development.

      Pros

      HGST has a good forward thinking management team. Good incentives make us feel appreciated & motivate us to move forward with the company.

      Cons

      The uncertainties over the MOFCOM issue. Certain areas tend to be quite bureaucratic.

      Pros

      basically none. I honestly can not say a single positive thing about wd. Very disappointing. If i had known i would never accepted to work here.

      Cons

      deqd end job, no salary increase or raise of any kind ever for any one. Dying industry which has no where to go but down and will go away wothin 5 years. Management os incompetent and have no idea what they are doing. Product and road map cancellation is tegular and normal just qbout every couple of month. Product that exist are of lowest quality and reliability in the entire industry. Customers are returning what the purchased simply because product just work reliably and cancelling products. Caothic environment. Useless meetings many times a day. LayoffS on regular bases. No future if you care about your long term career. Low moral. Pay and benefits one of the lowest in tech companies. I can go on and on but you get the idea.
