      Devops intern
      Current intern
      Bengaluru
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I've had a wonderful experience here. The working culture is fantastic, and the people are incredibly friendly and approachable. I’ve had the opportunity to learn new things, work with cutting-edge technologies, and collaborate with colleagues from around the world. The onboarding process was smooth and impressive, making it easy to settle in. Regular team outings and bonding activities add to the positive atmosphere, world class in-office facilities. Everything about this place has been great—WD truly treats you like family.

      Cons

      Maybe some more pay for Interns.

      Great 3 years at WD out of college

      Firmware engineer
      Former employee
      Irvine, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Very knowledgeable and technical team members and manager, with unwavering support throughout. Gained valuable experience in FW engineering as a new grad. Good culture with hybrid work schedule.

      Cons

      Some firmware and software technologies/tools felt antiquated, although updates were constantly being made. More due to the state of the HDD industry than company, however. Not enough transparency to employees from upper management.

      Lot of politics

      Principal engineer
      Current employee
      Bengaluru
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Get to work with experienced people .

      Cons

      1. Poor infrastructure. The office is located at kadubeesanhalli . Coming to office is a struggle 2. The office building looks old , though maintained but can be done better 3 . Other storage companies offer better pay and perks . No RSU refresh . 4. Lot of toxic managers who want to build a team of loyalists . 5. Anyone joining new will have difficulty growing as they only trust people with WD experience. It doesn’t matter if you have performed or listen to your manager 6. Lot of discrimination against outsiders 7. Very poor hr . If management discriminates there is no escape , you have to leave the company 8. Some people stay in the company for a long time with no where else to go , they will from a group and drive out new joiners . They only want people who will do all the hardwork and handover credit to there scumbags . The higher management does nothing to control this behaviour 9. People play cheap tricks like removing cables of your hardware setup , give you a faulty system to ensure you fail 10. Do not join a team called Kazan networks . I will guarantee that you will have horrible experience. You will hardly learn anything and will take your career back by those many years

      Unprofessional, careless HR.

      Program manager
      Former employee
      San Jose, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      None discovered so far. I have been interviewed by WD

      Cons

      I went through six rounds of interview with different WD directors including the hiring manager and recruiter (WD HR person) did not even communicate the outcome to me. The company obviously does not care about candidates.

      Great intern experience

      Asic engineer
      Former intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      My mentor was a pretty nice guy. We are still good friend after ending the internship. I learned a lot of things in industry from him.

      Cons

      The project hands-on experience during my internship period was not enough, since the time I was hired was a period between projects.
