Mediocre company - Staff Design Engineer SanDisk Employee Review

Pros

Dynamic culture - company strives to be innovative, testing out products one after another. In the end, much of the products were duds. A more careful assessment would probably have yield better results. However, from an employee perspective, it's great to be in an environment that promotes innovation. Good visionaries from the CEO - truly a glass half full kinda guy. One would feel inspired by his enthusiasm and motivation. Though can't say the same for the rest of the execs.

Cons

Middle mgmt needs a lot of work - lack of training and promotion simply based on seniority both contributed to mediocracy in middle mgmt layer. Also too many mgmt layers A lot of deadweight - hopefully recent layoffs trimmed the fat (which should have been done long ago)

Pros

Good culture and lots of younger folks working here that makes it fun. Rotation opportunities exist and make it possible to learn in many different teams.

Cons

There used to be excellent managers and directors who were able to mentor the teams and bring about good results. With all the attrition and lack of recognition it is not a fun place to work
