Seagate Technology reviews

Extremely stressful. Hard driven schedules. Degree requirements changed. BS now required. If you were laid off and don't have a 4 year degree then there is no chance to be rehired.

-Very limited growth potential for new employees. You are looking at 4-5 years to get to the next level. -Your immediate manager has very limited power and that shows when it comes to yearly reviews.Decisions regarding promotion taken at a higher level by people you might rarely interact. -To get ahead you need to get "visibility". To get that you first need to be seen as good. But to be recognized as good you need to be in good projects. See where I am going with this !!! -HDD business is always in a boom-bust cycle. One year you are making record profit margins. Next year you are talking about salary/ hiring freeze. -I think the compensation ratio is not reflecting the actual reality. -Weather is horrible during winter. But, summer and fall are nice.
