      Pros

      Western Digital (Irvine, CA) is a good place to work. Good people. Good facility. Fair pay. They have decent benefits.

      Cons

      The company rides the tides of the PC market and the growing Cloud storage industries. As the market goes, so goes WD. The customers of WD have ups and downs, and so does WD.

      Pros

      The SSD business is growing, and will continue to grow as the Hard Drive Business declines

      Cons

      Advancement only through buddy-buddy network, internal promotions are rare to non-existent unless one has a connection to senior executives.
