Pros

Salary is good. Silicon Valley location is desirable. Growing Company. Nice campus and equipment.

Cons

Senior management not connected to IT challenges. Poor project planning and the same mistakes repeated over and over. Complicated infrastructure not supported with ample budgets. Quantity is job one and everything is due yesterday - suprise and blame happens when issues arise. Just do it faster and don't make too much noise about it.

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.
