      Pros

      not a lot. Most colleagues are very friendly and happy to help when you need. Its products are still needed for many IT applications, PC, cloud, so the company is still very profitable.

      Cons

      Its technology is losing ground when competing with flash SSD. After buying Sandisk, the company will invest more money into flash and 3D NAND, rather than HDD. So, be prepared to see more layoffs like they did recently.

      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
