Pros

Established and critical technology Flexible time (for now at least)

Cons

Inefficient management due to lack of technical skills. Not employees friendly. They would do anything to cut costs. Two layoffs within a year. They are asking people to come back on-site even when the work could be done remotely. Highly likely Kioxia merge will happen and result in more layoffs

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
