Pros

Free coffee/tea Roth contribution to 401(k) Decent salary

Cons

While WD acquired HGST, the top management is mostly HGST, while middle is WD. This leads to a schizophrenic culture across the company. Sandisk appears to be an entity onto themselves. After merger, technical path was effectively demoted one step, or equivalently, management path was promoted one level. Poor/non-existent technical managers. Workforce reductions about every six months. Director and below must share office. Rats in my office (as in the four legged furry kind).

Pros

Large company. Will grow into future with acquisition of SanDisk. Largest storage provider in the world. Hopefully they will leverage that in a positive way for everyone

Cons

Poor benefits. High deductibles. Low 401k match. Poor company culture. Almost toxic. No work life balance. Managers are rude and insensitive
