Pros

not a lot. Most colleagues are very friendly and happy to help when you need. Its products are still needed for many IT applications, PC, cloud, so the company is still very profitable.

Cons

Its technology is losing ground when competing with flash SSD. After buying Sandisk, the company will invest more money into flash and 3D NAND, rather than HDD. So, be prepared to see more layoffs like they did recently.
