Pros

Huge company with opportunities to network and move into different fields. If you are an engineer, the pay is really good. Also, free bagels and donuts on Fridays, and every month there is a free-employee lunch like food trucks, or a $13 voucher to the cafeteria. They also have a cool new college graduate program that helps recent college grads get to know each other and partake in fun activities. There is also just about one company-wide community give back volunteer event every month.

Cons

Unless you are already brought in with a high paying position or into a senior position, it takes forever to move up the ladder. They talk about their ethics and compliance anonymous hotline allll the time and how mangers are not allowed to retaliate against employees who report, but that is not true. They do not care about employees who are confiding in them anonymously. They do nothing to protect them and would rather protect the corrupt managers who are causing employees to report.

Pros

Big company with money, integrated with other companies offering ethical management instead of unethical.

Cons

Core group of corporate thugs controlling culture, with their own personal agenda, even if at a cost to WD. If you aren’t one of them, you will be a pawn or victim.

Pros

Employees appear to be attracted to their location in Milpitas; close to Freemont. So if you live in freemont, it is an easy commute.

Cons

Obviously, these are my opinions based upon what I've seen in the "Client Solutions" software development organization: - Very poor management on the software side - Software management lacks vision - Doesn't know how to do software development - Not clear why they are in Silicon Valley - Software developers are not treated well
