Pros

Some interesting perks (free cell phone)

Cons

A lot of internal politics and infighting. Every quarter is a fight for survival where you or your entire BU can be cut at any time. The large ego of employees makes it hard to exchange ideas and information, especially to add suggestions to product design. Not a good place for young and inexperienced employees at all. There is no employee training or mentoring in some groups. Said workplace attitude makes it very hard to get someone to sit down and teach you anything for both time constraint reasons as well as political reasons (if you learn anything, you might put someone else out of the job). Very long hours of boring, repetitive grunt-work with no appreciation. You can work weekends (12 hours a day, Saturday and Sunday) for months at a time just to meet the very badly defined project timelines.

No nonsense company when it comes to anything not related to core business

Confused about its future and poor at execution. Competitors have left it far behind

Thank you for your feedback! After having received numerous amounts of feedback from employees in our Voice of the Employee survey, we made it a priority to create our Speaker Series events, where members of our executive panel share their highlights, challenges and visions for the future to all employees interested in attending. We have made a strong effort to increase transparency through these kinds of events, and encourage all employees to attend these speaker events in order to gain more insight on executive outlook towards the company.

Pros

Management seems to be quick to do what is necessary as they begin breaking out into the enterprise flash market. Customers definitely trust the brand and are eager to get a hold of new products. I came in as part of an acquisition of a smaller flash company who did not have a well-known brand and you can definitely feel the difference with the SanDisk name in meetings with new customers.

Cons

A few of the products could be better thought-out. There's definitely one or two situations where a product was created without a problem for it to solve. Building new products that don't directly support some current software is a definite no-no these days, so that will have to be addressed ASAP.
