Pros

This is the company still labeling itself a technology company. But nothing to say a props to it. More than 10 years working here witnessed how management teams skewed up, messed up, and transformed good technology team into ground. No technology any more, it is a big joke.

Cons

Good people escaped out of the company, incapable people and meeting hardball players are pretending to be the valuable assets of the company. They are driving WD into the ground. It is thought that buying Sandisk could save WD. If the same management team is running, no chance. It is slowing dying. Don't consider this company if you have a choice.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
