Pros

Used to have good culture with people willingly helping each other but no longer true

Cons

Hired a bunch of clueless sales leaders who do not understand the market and industry. All senior sales leaders are just a bunch of sales ops who make decisions based on spreadsheet. They do not meet customers nor partners. Senior sales leader is clueless ands toxic causing a lot of disruptions to the company. More than 50% of your time will be spent on internal meetings, sales cadence, planning meeting etc rather than meeting customers. Micro management by senior sales leaders who are clueless themselves

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.
