      Pros

      Good pay, decent flexibility in work hours

      Cons

      Entire message WD presents to the world is a cover. The company is struggling. The new CEO and CFO have absolutely destroyed the company. They are very up front with the fact employees have no value and they are going to replace them with the cheapest alternative. The constant threat of layoffs and centralizing of decision making has destroyed the culture and the innovation WD thrives on to survive. The new AI products are all just ideas with no practicality, most of what they have in the market are higher-priced, watered down versions of what other companies are already doing. They say they want everyone to use AI in their jobs but with them going so far down market for talent, a lot of people struggle with not just AI but basic business skills. The company used to take care of it's employees so they can make WD the best company out there. Now they don't want WD to be the best, they want it to be the cheapest so C and Z can hit their payouts then jump ship leaving the carcass of a once great company rotting in the gutter.

      Pros

      Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

      Cons

      Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
