Pros

Big, generally stable company that is making money right now. Seem to be paying very close attention to market pressures, changing storage environments, and competitors. Great communication from the top expression company vision, short and long term goals and expectations. Local HR and EH&S work hard to create a pleasent work environment and maintain a first class facility.

Cons

Big, slow moving company disconnected with the individual contributor. First level managers ill equiped and sometimes unwilling to actually manage and motivate contributors. Reorignations locallized and do not seem to effect real change. Top level communications seems to be stifled by local frst level management that don't really buy into corporate message.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
