Pros

The technical knowledge to gain from working in the HDD industry is high. Working relationships within WD are mostly open and friendly,

Cons

Most senior engineering opportunities get filled through external recruiting instead of internal promotions. This can be frustrating for long time employees who do not get rewarded for their performance.

Pros

Lots of good and experienced people working there, even though they would probably be happier working someplace else. There is room for advancement if you are hardworking. Medical benefits are actually pretty good.

Cons

Very long hours, low employee morale. Unfair treatment of employees by management.

Company is growing and is been very stable. It is a great place to work but the big downside is that they do not give out merit raises so be prepaired to stay at the salery that you get hired at.

Cons

They do not believe in giving out merit raises.
