Pros

Hybrid work arrangements, only 2 days in office required. Benefits are generally not too bad.

Cons

-Toxic culture. Management leaders frequently criticize or mock their team members in front of others during meetings openly when in disagreement. -Short term view, pull in deals forward every quarter to close in order to achieve quarterly target. -Most colleagues are unauthentic, hence while it may feel like a friendly environment to work in, it's mostly pretence.

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.
