Pros

It's a friendly, open atmosphere. Decisions are explained and consensus is important. Humor is evident and encouraged.

Cons

Very shaky and yet somewhat arrogant IT. Some insulated engineers who don't seem to understand industry best practices and think their ideas are revolutionary.

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.
