Pros

Great Salary and Benefits, lots of nice people working there. It does appear that the corporate culture does value employees and tries to provide many avenues for balancing work and life. I did meet some very pleasant people here.

Cons

Heavy on process, lack of transparency , losing market share so frequent layoffs. New product development doesn't happen here, only extension of existing products. Current management has a CYA attitude, and cost cutting / outsourcing abounds. Managers expect you to be on call 24x7 so as to accomodate offshore development teams.

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.
