WDC does not care about it's employees

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers. That is about it.

Cons

This is the place you do not want to work if you would like to be in a culture that respects and cares about it's employees. Senior Management is consistently derogatory about the people on their teams. Technical positions here might as well be account reps - management does not respect technical expertise. 400 people lose their jobs and the management who "leads" them into unemployment gets promoted. Etc. etc. etc. Just don't.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Get some experience straight out of college * Hang with other new college grads before they bail too * Talk about cutting crab grass, workin' on the fence, going to the Olive Garden, getting a boat and other Middle Class Fancy things with the long timers. Exhilarating . * Having old guys accuse your gang of college hooligans of stealing sandwiches out of the fridge in the breakroom. Yep, totally us, can't get enough of those Liver and Onion sandwiches with a side of prune juice. Delicious!

Cons

* Everything, literally everything. Weekly meetings with your manager (what?), extreme distrust of employees, micro-management, denial of any new technologies, it just... goes on. I'm surprised it all still functions. I was there during the giant mergers and my lord what a mess.
