    Pros

    Very good Work and Life balance. Good team work atmosphere. Senior management willing to share business plan and outlook with all employees. Great mix of people

    Cons

    Long working hours during peak times. Management likes to keep the company running very lean, which means most departments are bordering on being understaffed. Most managers are working managers, which is fine. But some people do not make this assumption.

    Pros

    Good benefits. Cutting edge technology.

    Cons

    Poor communication and product planning. Even less communication and organization within project teams. Work life balance is rough if you're the Senior guy - turn over rate at SanDisk is high which means you'll quickly be the one with the most tribal knowledge. This means you'll be doing more work.
