Pros

Semi-competative salary. Decent health benefits. Standard vacation plan (3 weeks to start).

Cons

POLITICAL. Middle management is willing to throw you under the bus! More red tape than action. Spends money on crap projects and delays things that are worth-while. Extremely short-sighted management. It wasn't like that in the beginning. It amazes me that they have been able to stay anywhere on the great places to work list! They won't stay there for long. Employees are leaving the sinking ship in droves!

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.
