Pros

Strong legacy products Decent work life balance Brilliant engineers with long tenure. Tough engineering challenges.

Cons

Tons of tech debt. Vacation days are strictly tenure based starting at 15 days. With forced vacation twice a year during company shutdown. Executive management tries too hard to sway with the wind and chase industry trends, rather than believe in their own products.

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.
