Pros

The people within our division were fun to work with, where all were open to mentor others - or to be mentored by others. To counter the stress of scheduled releases, we all found ways to make each other laugh. The medical benefits were managed by Anthem, but it was funded directly by Western Digital, who could and did change the rules to improve health care. For example, preventative care medications were provided without having to meet the initial deductible (i.e. insulin for diabetics).

Cons

Rolling layoffs, with promises by upper management that the last one was always going to be the last.

Pros

Tons of opportunity since there are so many changes - no shortage of good things to work on and develop.

Cons

Too many changes and they are frustrating because people can't change that much or keep up and still get work done. 99% of execs are all old white men at the top tier (except head of HR - who is the only female senior exec (also white) in the entire company). Bad example of diversity.
