      Pros

      Can turn on a dime in response to the market. Will maintain market leadership at all costs. Is definitely the industry leader.

      Cons

      Chaos reigns. Politics, silos, lack of good leadership - all lead to a very poorly-managed workforce worldwide. Too much in-breeding to grow the exec ranks. Outsiders are set up for success and tend to leave within 2-3 years.

      Highly Competitive Industry

      Pros

      Incredibly diverse cutting-edge technology, many highly skilled managers and engineers. Part of a highly competitve industry. Many opportunities for acquiring new knowledge. Variety of career paths.

      Cons

      Unforgiving work environment at times due to extreme pace of development - mistakes are not forgotten. Long hours. Several key directors and VPs are highly insular, usually standing in the way of meeting customer goals in areas of design, reliability and corrective action. Corporate level is often unaware of the bad rep their products have in customer installations and how poorly the new designs meet customer needs. It is therefore extremely difficult to change the tarnished image in the markeplace, where perception is everything.

      Pros

      Great deals on hard drives. Great location if you are living in the south bay. The current CEO is making great decisions on the company's future.

      Cons

      There is too much complacency. Seagate used to be the technology leader, but has been leapfrogged by Western Digital. Certain managers didn't allow for a balanced work and personal life.
