Pros

This company has a great working atmosphere. Compensation & benefits to employees especially in RTP office are great. Lot of self driven people. The company offers opportunities to grow technically not just through the work but other initiatives as well. Unlike most companies out there, people love to share, explain or disseminate knowledge which is always a great help. Managers maintain clear communications with their teams about the charter and expectations.

Cons

Playing catch up in a very dynamic business environment which can create undesired pressure among teams even though it's not the company's core culture, probably due to bad business foresight. Company has seen workforce cut due to that as well as slowdown in technical innovation as this big machine has a lot of moving parts today. Sometimes engineers with experience tend to be underpaid as compared to new UGH.

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.
