Lousy Company, Lousy Leadership

Pros

Bad leadership, but fortunately it is now WD so will get better leadership.

Cons

Lack of direction with managers that like to play politics. BUs constantly fight with each other and are more focused on expanding territory than doing what's best for the company.

Pros

1) In general, people are trying to do what is best for the company and great to work with. 2) Get to work on new memory technologies

Cons

1) Recent enterprise acquisitions have not panned out. Most of the key people have left after the acquisitions. 2) With the exception of the CEO Sanjay, the executive staff does not have flash memory experience. We have lost our leadership because of this as projects are planned without understanding how to best leverage the system and memory. 3) Poor work/life balance. It was ok when we were leaders but we aren't anymore.

SanDisk Response
10y
Congratulations on reaching the 10 year milestone with us at SanDisk! That is such an impressive feat and we really appreciate you taking the time out to provide us with honest feedback about the company, especially given how much experience you’ve had with the company. We appreciate you recognizing our talented employees and our innovative environment. These are two of our proudest features and are always happy to hear we are delivering up to par. As with any acquisition, no company can ever exactly predict how they will turn out in the long-run. That being said, we feel that we have learned from our past acquisitions and learned from them, and we are very hopeful for the future of our company.
