Pros
good location decent work life balance
Cons
The work environment here is always eerie. People walk around like zombies, not making eye contact, either trying to avoid you or ignore you. Everyone always has a scared or concerned look on their face. Plus its smack in the middle of the douchee county culture. Extremely unprofessional place to work. Political correctness is not found here. Managers making disparaging remarks about their employees heritage/decent/nationalities etc. Grow up you old farts! Its an unwritten rule where if you want to stick around, be obedient, quite and do not raise any serious concerns or issues with the status quo. Most people happily oblige. Be a suck up and you will be just fine. The company does not give a damn about its employees. They are not interested in helping your career in any way. They will toss you around different projects as their priorities change rather arbitrarily. They will treat you as a skill set and you will be valued as much as lab equipment. If you are serious about your own personal experience and growth, this is not a good place to be. The pay is below industry average and getting raises is extremely difficult. Very cheap company indeed. The hard drive is dying and they have been unsuccessful in entering new markets due to a lack of vision, direction and having no sense of execution. Upper management is utterly clueless about product road maps which arbitrarily change overnight. They have a lot of cash so they will buy other companies to stay afloat and in the meantime will keep thinning out its employees. This entire year was mired with periodic layoffs and most people don't know how long their employment will last. There is no passion here, its not a happy place to work. They create products based on market demand and after Seagate has entered the market. They are followers not leaders. They never start with a motive like "lets build a great product" its a technology business run unlike a technology business. Solely based on supply demand, not technological vision. If you are a qualified, smart individual, do yourself a favor and do not enter.
