Pros

Good work-life balance. Great transparency and appreciation for work. You get to see the impact of your work on the company. Great/diverse technology to learn about. Good learning resources/engineering support (this is easy to ignore, but they prevent a lot of frustration otherwise).

Cons

Payscale wasn't at par with expectations/peer companies. 2 "imposed" shutdowns every year. At times, too much focus on reporting and communication on managerial level.....kind of overwhelming. Product development needs better engineers.

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.
