Pros

High pay working in anything sales related (or management of course). No problem find a parking space. Gym is never crowded. No lines at cafe.

Cons

Text book 1980's Jack Welch style corporation. Everything is about reducing costs and paying management more. Notable anti-US bias. Nothing even minimally progressive about this place (in the US anyway). No teamwork, everyone is a silo to make layoffs easy as possible.

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.
