Pros

Friendly working environment. People are candid. Culture matters.

Cons

Perks are not as good as those internet companies but kind of well played in the storage industry (or system level company in general), may be after VMware. Cooperation with team players in Bangalore is kind of pain sometimes due to the timezone. Plus some of them are very in-responsive to working emails making me think they're not working..Investment in India might be too much and not exactly worth it in my opinion.

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.
