Pros

-Some ability to WFH -Decent salary -Good location

Cons

-Sexist -Discriminatory -If you are even slightly overweight, be prepared to be fired (of course they'll make up an excuse as to why you're being "let go" when you find out months later it's because you were too heavy). -Liars and master manipulators (they tell you you're going to get X amount of bonus or raise, and low and behold, they LIED to your face, claiming "performance issues" even though if it weren't for you, they'd NEVER have anything completed--hmm, how is that performance based???!!) -Lack of basic communication -Annual review process and ratings severely flawed -Too many senior level managers with no care to anything/anyone but themselves and their insanely high salaries -If you're a hard worker, be prepared to be abused while other "slackers" are praised -Never give you credit for your hard work or amazing outcomes, take your credit instead -The Sr. level managers have a very "old school" approach to how they treat women in the workplace, they are LUCKY I didn't sue them for sexual harassment! -ZERO growth!! -Way too many political games!! -Big time favoritism and clique's all over! -Mind games and game playing is a "norm"

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.
