      Pros

      1) Due to more than 2/3 and almost dev sites and mfg sites were ex-IBM SSD (Hitachi acquired IBM SSD's HDD business since 2003), basically it still has IBM culture, one of keys is to respect individual. As long as you can contribute, no matter where you come from, you will be respected. 2) Multi-cutures and harmony working environment.

      Cons

      Sometimes commonality not so satsifactory due to two dev sites although majority of the items are commonized.

      Pros

      WD as a large company (100,000 empolyee) is effective. The top management team (CEO, COO...) is lean and good at marketing. WD gives decent bonus to engineers and technicians (15%-25% of your salary). On the contrary, in lots of other large companies, all the money goes to managers.

      Cons

      Hard disk demand is hard to increase a lot more. However, there are too many old people in this business. Young people have no room to be promoted.
