Pros

It is a very dynamic workplace. There is a lot to learn from. People come from all walks of life.

Cons

Since this is a storage company, if you are looking to innovate or pioneer on something that is not hard drives or storage-related, it probably is not the place.

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
