Pros

Excitement builds for integration with WD, we are hoping good things will happen.

Cons

Tolerance for incompetence is key! Career development and employee benefits suck! The department in HR is led but unprofessional talent as leaders. The head of the HR Organization is out of touch with employees and cares for the Executive staff only. They need new and talented leaders. The engineering teams have no respect for them. Plenty of better companies to work for in the Tech industry in this valley, you won't find long term growth or excitement here.
