Pros

The company is mature for its technology. HDD industry has been existing for many years.

Cons

HDD is shrinking. People who do the work are actually left out and those who are visible through meetings and talking gets more rewarded. The importance of work does not really matter here. Its the visibility of work that gets more attention. And it depends on your manager if they want to make it visible.
