Pros

Opportunities for growth are good and Seagate does pay tution and health benefits. The salary is better than industry average, and the promotions are based on knowledge and perfromance within the group, instead of typical "years of experience" based.

Cons

Hard drive is a highly fluctuating industry, so stability is an issue. The yearly revenues highly depend on the sales, which varies year to year. And that impact employees significantly. For example, tution reimburesemt might be put on-hold if the company isn't doing good. And the layoff's are pretty frequent, so this might not be the best company if you are looking for stability.

Advice to Senior Management

There is politics involved with the senior management. Seagate has 7-8 layers of execcutives and with the 'buddy system' lot of stupid people with good contacts get promoted and highly potential candidates are left in vain, affecting their performance.
