Pros

There are no good reasons to work for Western Digital other than it's a paycheck and better than being unemployed. Management has no respect for work/life balance. If you hate spending time with your family, then this is the perfect company for you. They expect all employees to give work precedence over your personal life and family.

Cons

"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recent years they tell us they "make it up with bonuses" which are completely up to the manager's discretion and can be withdrawn at any time.
