Approves of CEO

Western Digital Anonymous: (Current Employee)

Pros

Great management. Keeping costs down. Don't see too many useless workers. The low performing engineers usually leave the company, one way or another. The bonus program is extremely good when the company does well. The ESP program is also very good since it has a 24 month lookback period.

Cons

Salary is not very competitive compared to the market. The bonus program doesn't pay anything if the company does not do well, even if job performance was at the best level.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep the good work, keep the company slim, don't over hire. Don't waste engineers time on useless training. Let's expand SSD quick.
