Pros

The people you work with re incredible. Highly intelligent and capable for the most part.

Cons

Where to start? When I first joined WD it was an incredible place. I felt like it was too real to be true. Unfortunately I was right. After much turmoil, an org restructure, layoffs and then a new organization - we finally settled with terrible middle management. The entire Org is constantly giving feedback especially about management but the feedback falls on deaf ears. Leadership is detrimental, turnover is happening at a high rate and there are rumors of ethics complaints and a potential discrimination class action lawsuit coming together because of bullying, harassment, and discrimination. Morale is incredibly low. Work is incredibly overloaded and if you complain you are pushed out. If you are suspected of giving negative feedback you become a target. Fear drives the org. It’s incredible work we are doing, But the treatment received is toxic and abusive. Leadership continues to pat themselves on the back but it’s ridiculous when the team is running on fumes except those with preferential treatment. I am really happy to be out but feel so bad for everyone else that has been left behind. GPO really has to get rid of the toxic leadership to avoid not only a lawsuits, but the breakdown of the organization.

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.
