SanDisk Employee Reviews about "culture"

Pros

provides high incentive and high salary.

Cons

it is joint venture with Toshiba. and the company culture is japanese and status is lower than that of Toshiba engineer.

Pros

There is some level of work-life balance as long as you are able to either say 'no' or independently establish a comp-time agreement that allows you some flexibility. They actively support volunteer activities, so that is a good point too.

Cons

The culture of nepotism and male domination creates a difficult environment for any woman trying to advance a career here. Be ready to be called 'feisty' if you try. What works better is to know someone, rather than spend time working your fingers to the bone only to have them tell you that you are too independent.

Pros

If everything works out well, the rotation program helps you maximize skillset building (mostly in Operations/Supply Chain/Analytical/Project Management). SanDisk, as a company, holds best-in-class talent and technology in the industry. (You should keep in mind that in terms of talent of its employees, a top company in Semiconductor is not comparable to a one in other emerging tech areas.) There are a few good people managers that you may be able to work for/with.

Cons

Company: - Culture: highly political and impersonal. The company only cares about cost/performance, rather than building the right company culture or promoting company values. A significant portion of people decisions were very poorly made, usually driven by political powers. - Irresponsible and weak Executive team: When Management makes wrong decisions, employees usually become the scapegoats. - Amazingly poor HR management: HR influence and control are almost non-existent. The company is highly hierarchical, which only encourages politics and slows down the decision-making process. The immigration team treats alien employees in the most unrespectful way. There are no truly functioning feedback loops within the company. - Diversity: SanDisk's understanding of diversity is very immature - it basically thinks that promoting diversity is equivalent to promoting its employees' home cultures. Black and Hispanic presences (esp. in mid to senior management) are extremely limited in the company. Different ethical groups are segregated rather than collaborative. Also, my perception is that the company does not care about LGBT diversity at all. Rotation Program: The rotation program openings are highly concentrated in the Planning organization, driven by business needs and cost considerations, rather than participants' growth opportunities. The rotation cycles are redundantly long. If your primary focus in your career is to grow, this may not be the best program to start with. Also, the promotion process within the program is broken, which has caused high turn-over historically.

Pros

Good company and work culture

System and processes can be more efficient. Planning has to be better

Pros

Good people good working environment Benefits are pretty good. Diverce culture and activities out of work scope.

Cons

Too many inner politics Not much self development options

Pros

good culture and surroundings. campus is good enough

Cons

was hoping to work in analog profile but shifted to software, there was no proper training hence, became difficult to learn on our own

Pros

Cash rich! Good company and work culture. You would learn lot of new tools/softwares which are used to ease up the product development process. On personal level, company arranges different kind of activities (outside work) for its employees.

Cons

The benefit package is standard which other bay area companies also give. Being a cash rich company, it can do better in compensating Employees.

Pros

Free bagels on Friday and free coffee.

Cons

Highly dysfunctional management. No room for growth or promotions. The culture is toxic and runs on an environment of fear and intimidation. They're trying to portray themselves as another Facebook or Google, but it's clear they're just going through the motions. No amount of 'perks' such as team happy hours, ice cream socials, etc. will replace respect for employees and their time outside of work.

Pros

Good work environment Innovative Management is very supportive of your ideas Company culture is one of the best Nice gym, cafe, and amenities

Cons

With the recent WD aquisition many employees have low morale and are unsure of the future...Not sure if WD can preserve the current SanDisk culture
