Pros

Lot of scope to go in depth in technology Lot of forums to learn and share knowledge Twice a year shutdown provides great vacation time and allows to refresh mind body and soul lot of email groups for everything to discuss with all employees :) No need to setup lab. have a dedicated team for that. Dedicated WPR team which takes care of fun activities across the site every quarter like games, dance, fashion show etc free snacks, beer bash and lot of options in cafe

Cons

Frequent re-org's and layoff's off late. no certainty on job Hardly any travel opportunities for IC's and cost cutting on travel, team building activities delayed hikes and not so great hikes growth as in promotions are very slow

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.
