Pros

nothing to mention as pros.

Cons

too much nepotism in the company. If you are from India then you will flourish otherwise your chances to move up in corporate ladder is slim. Senior people try to take credit of things which they do not do and take bunch of RSUs for things which they never touched which creates frustration in lower ranks. Also recently WD announced no RSUs for folks at staff or lower level which makes no sense at all.

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
