Pros

Can maintain work life balance well

Cons

Middle managers are just busy making their own castles, and they have made their dedicated connections, its almost like a cult not a culture. if you fit their stereotype, you are good else not (that involves only drinking at work or happy hours) They dont really care about the work you can do, they just want you in the team if you can be fun not serious abut getting work done. If you immediate manager wants to ignore you then god save you, better to leave and find another job even in a bad economy.

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.
