Pros

There is still beer on most fridays and the gym is nice. They have purchased new equipment for the conference rooms. They got rid of their CEO.

Cons

It has lost all of the innovation and vision that it had 10 years ago. They are super late to the party on new technologies, ie all flash, cloud and clustering. Internal tools could use a refresh badly. Wage is below local market value in area The last round of layoffs is proof that they do not think things out before executing

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.
