Pros

There are still some really good people left. Technology is exciting and quality is improving.

Cons

Too much negativity in the ranks, too many middle managers with no clue. Too much managing up. The famous culture of candor doesn't exist anymore. Everyone is in it for himself. There is no way to advance within unless you weasel or brown-nose into it.

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.
