      Pros

      I could not find much Pros about WD for the overall IT process, perhaps time flexibility was the only thing.

      Cons

      Bad management, does not value good employees, pay way below the current market value for IT, and the worse part is management tends to tolerate irresponsible employees and push those loads to other good employees rather than fixing the real issue.

      Pros

      The doors are still open. Company used to be great until Hitachi took over and trust me they took over!

      Cons

      To many to list. Since the take over from Hitachi WD has turned for the worst, they no longer care about the employees OT is gone even when needed. Everyone just over worked but trying to save there job so the backstabbing never quits. They have created the worst morale her in Fremont I have ever seen in 14 years even during our tough years and through lay offs. It's everyone for them selves here! NO RAISES IN YEARS. Work life balance great because there is no OT when needed so just stay home.

      Pros

      Really bright engineering team and a lot of access to various experts.

      Cons

      Project Management caused many schedule delays through poor planning. It was a really toxic work environment with a lot of aggressive individuals. I experienced many sexist comments throughout my years there.
