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.

Pros

They offer decent benefits. The CEO is trying to change the culture for the better. Large layoffs are rare

Cons

This company has a very old school technology mentality. The office decor is depressing. The only way to get a raise is to come to them with a better offer (i.e. they do not do annual or performance based raises) and the firmware organization is dysfunctional in the EXTREME. There is zero process and resistance to change is epidemic.

Pros

Good stuff: 1. Fast paced. New projects are always coming in and sometimes that leads to direction changes. 2. Mostly friendly people that are willing to work with you. 3. Opportunities to learn new things all the time. 4. Optimistic company outlook. Great upper management that keeps on top of market demand.

Cons

Bad stuff: 1. Due to the frequently changing schedules, can sometimes get tired of the switches and would just wish to finish a project. 2. Bonus payout is based on how the company did (as it should be). However, even if your group did excellent, could still earn little bonus if market is down. 3. Pay is lower than other companies but we are told that with our bonus, we are quite comparable. See #2 though...
