WD reviews

Have never seen such unabashed self-love and pride for a culture that's actually a (poorly blended) composite of distinctly different cultures. Openness and honesty are not key characteristics of the organization, key leaders lie to your face without hesitation, let alone shame. Worst case of organizational insularity and NIH I've ever experienced, culturally conditioned to dismiss and denigrate ideas deemed to come from "outside", and/or that might be viewed as "better" than tribal knowledge. Actually saw a senior leader mocked for his efforts to upgrade key functions by leveraging methods proven successful in the industry - repeatedly, over months, though the person was giving everything to help improve an essential business function that was impacting business. Leadership seems totally unable to recognize, let alone acknowledge, that when things aren't going well, it just might be about them and "the WD way".

Bad stuff: 1. Due to the frequently changing schedules, can sometimes get tired of the switches and would just wish to finish a project. 2. Bonus payout is based on how the company did (as it should be). However, even if your group did excellent, could still earn little bonus if market is down. 3. Pay is lower than other companies but we are told that with our bonus, we are quite comparable. See #2 though...
