Pros

For the first several years, it was great. Great culture, amazing people, high morale. I was proud to work here and recommended anyone who wanted to join.

Cons

In the past 1 1/2 years, the company has gone downhill. Executive decisions are way off the mark. They flip flop in their go to market strategy and the leaders they are bringing on these days are really destroying the amazing culture it used to have.

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.
