Pros

Rock solid business. Very strong top management. No brash decisions. Its non-back-stabbing culture. Leader in thought leadership in storage technologies, though being challenged by startups, off late. Aligns very nicely and quickly during challenging times. Inherent culture of trust.

Cons

Weak middle management. Slow in reacting. Does not take hard decisions.

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.
