Pros

Flexible work schedule, decent ESPP, pay is reasonable, people are awesome.

Cons

Some departments are better to work for than others. It all depends on the manager. Parking is 1/4 mile away from the office and is in a parking structure. Lots of consolidation is going on right now due to the HGST merger, so the future is uncertain.

Pros

Execution focused company. Had good strong, sound management team prior to 2013.

Cons

Changing culture with negative impact on lower level employees. Continual layoffs and no job security. Top level management not focused on employees or company. Too many distractions.
