Pros

Good stuff: 1. Fast paced. New projects are always coming in and sometimes that leads to direction changes. 2. Mostly friendly people that are willing to work with you. 3. Opportunities to learn new things all the time. 4. Optimistic company outlook. Great upper management that keeps on top of market demand.

Cons

Bad stuff: 1. Due to the frequently changing schedules, can sometimes get tired of the switches and would just wish to finish a project. 2. Bonus payout is based on how the company did (as it should be). However, even if your group did excellent, could still earn little bonus if market is down. 3. Pay is lower than other companies but we are told that with our bonus, we are quite comparable. See #2 though...

Pros

Interesting work. Good people. Good training to take to a better environment.

Cons

Expect long hours per week. Just canceled all vacation time. Forced time off in July and Dec, so now it will be without pay. HGST Merger should take out a good chunk of both companies.
