Pros

Great customer focus, easy to get people to support you

Cons

Office politics were constantly on the rise, with 2 District Managers getting booted, one by a "Coup d'état" of one of his subordinates, and one after trying a similar trick on his manager.. This somehow didn't create a toxic environment, which I accredit to the good people working there.

Pros

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Cons

If you'd ask me a year or 2 ago, I would have given the company 5 stars. But, as with most tech companies now, they've started to follow the trend of return to office, regardless of logic. There's little to no room for exceptions and the company would rather sacrifice productivity regardless if they know the hardships for people living in metros (one way commute to the NY or SJC office can take 2 hours one way!) - that and there's no commuter benefits. You have to pay out of pocket and live in fear of not receiving your bonus if you miss the "thrive together" quarterly requirements.
