WD Principal Software Development Engineer reviews

Workplace and parkings are horrible. It tries to save money and cut cost by reducing cubicle space. At the same time, there is not enough parking space for employees. Multiple levels of management matrix makes it difficult for employees to report. In some group, an employee may have to report to several managers at a time. Too many level management seems to create a lot of overhead, as the middle level in some situation directly manages a group of engineers, but is a manager on top of another manager of another group. The company has not had salary review and given raises to employees for years. Many employees believe that they are underpaid.

"Sweatshop" type of work environment. Salaries have been frozen since 1999. Salary increases only can only come with promotions. There is no cost of living adjustment. Pay is below industry standard, but in recent years they tell us they "make it up with bonuses" which are completely up to the manager's discretion and can be withdrawn at any time.
