Pros

The company runs like a startup and there's a lot of chance to learn new skill sets.

Cons

Regarding engineering. The company is like a startup and the focus of the projects shifts abruptly every few months. There are constant reorgs and layoffs the past few years that it's terrible for morale. Work in my division goes unappreciated and I feel undervalued. Many teammates have left on their own. The only response from management is pretty much we have more work to do, now step up, all of you. I started out excited to work at a big well known company, now I am looking for an exit. The combination of reorgs and layoffs and work pressure without any appreciation is not a good thing. Granted the memory field is a fickle business that is highly sensitive to economic fluctuations. So try not to work for memory companies and especially not Sandisk.

Pros

I liked being a part of a large company. There was a lot of room to learn and grow. I liked that they had development webinars. The people that I worked with were nice.

Cons

There were a lot of meetings so supervisors were always busy on the phone or in a conference room. Most people would do their job and then throw the task over the fence to the next person and not give it another thought. The next person may or may not have known the task was in their court. A lot of things slipped through the cracks on their way through the system. Lots of long processes where multiple people had to be involved to get anything done. No work life balance. You are just a number.
