Pros

The only good thing I can think of is that SanDisk values highly technical people, especially Engineers who are basically required to be the technical leads and manage the projects. However, don't mistake the word value, they give highly technical people large roles filled with pseudo-authority, but the pay is not very competitive for the software industry.

Cons

The company culture at SanDisk is lacking. There is a real culture of mistrust and bullying at this company. As a current employee, I find that decisions are pushed much too high up the management chain. There is a desire to make decisions at very high levels and by specific people. Even insignificant details. Senior executives can be very unprofessional dressing down employees in broad audience meetings. Management will bully teams into working weekends to save one day on a schedule only to let 7 days lapse on the decision making chain for approvals. It is truly mind-boggling the way they treat their employees but refuse to re-evaluate their processes for efficiency.

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
