Pros

Above average salaries, extra time off for volunteer work, a lot of exciting projects to work on.

Cons

Be prepare for long working hours (15+ a day) with lots of unproductive meetings. The equally shared development between US and India strategy created enormous overheads. Management turn over rate is very high (100% in a 5 yrs). You have to play the game in order to suvive.

Pros

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Cons

If you'd ask me a year or 2 ago, I would have given the company 5 stars. But, as with most tech companies now, they've started to follow the trend of return to office, regardless of logic. There's little to no room for exceptions and the company would rather sacrifice productivity regardless if they know the hardships for people living in metros (one way commute to the NY or SJC office can take 2 hours one way!) - that and there's no commuter benefits. You have to pay out of pocket and live in fear of not receiving your bonus if you miss the "thrive together" quarterly requirements.
