Pros

An opportunity to develop the future of storage technology while working with smart coworkers on a global team. Complex and challenging problems to solve give innovative employees a chance to stand out.

Cons

Company has roots in the slow-moving engineering cultures of IBM and Hitachi, and is more resistant to change than other places I worked. Leads to using outdated development tools and methodologies compared to younger more nimble companies.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
