Pros

+Great Benefits +Great People +Free Lunch +Work from home luxury +Boss was fine, although a lot of promises that never happened

Cons

I came over with the Fusion-io acquisition and was shocked to find a 13B company run so poorly. Systems are ancient, if I worked in the 80s this is honestly what it would have been like. Everything is done in Excel, and I mean EVERYTHING. The company acquired Fusion-io for the technology and for the end user sales team and they couldn't figure out how to Incorporate us. The talent that was lost during the acquisition is sad, outstanding talent from Fusion-io. If you weren't on the finance or legal side, you couldn't get anything approved. The executive team, while I'm sure are bright technology wise, didn't have the business savvy to make the company work. It was as if SanDisk couldn't get out of their own way and just couldn't figure out how to use an end user sales team.

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
