Review
Nov 20, 2022 - Sales Enablement Specialist in San Jose, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Ethical and great work life balance
Cons
I loved working for Western Digital
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Relaxed and flexible environment.Better work life balance.
Cons
Pure HW company. Too much churn not in the right direction.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Employee Retention is Horrible for a Reason!
Jan 11, 2021 - Campus Recruiting Coordinator in Irvine, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
None... honestly can't even think of one
Cons
-Terrible management. Coworkers are pitted against each other for promotions they will never get, and your job title will change and work will increase constantly, but you'll never see an extra penny as reward. -Very catty and gossipy environment -Horrible work life balance...trying to work from home (before the pandemic) was unheard of. For some reason the UR manager was never in the office but always expected you to be! -'Diversity' is non-existent. Entire teams made up of only one gender or 1-2 races. They barely have any properly functioning ERGS because they don't have enough diversity in the org to bring enough people together.

Easy place to work
Aug 3, 2021 - Systems Design%2FVerification Engineer in Milpitas, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
There are lots of opportunities that you can choose to take or just choose to have a stable job with great work/life balance
Cons
Depending on the team, you might not get really good challenges and a lot of skills are proprietary and can't be used in other future roles
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Managers are sooper friendly and gets a good work life balance
Cons
No cons for me so far
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
The doors are still open. Company used to be great until Hitachi took over and trust me they took over!
Cons
To many to list. Since the take over from Hitachi WD has turned for the worst, they no longer care about the employees OT is gone even when needed. Everyone just over worked but trying to save there job so the backstabbing never quits. They have created the worst morale her in Fremont I have ever seen in 14 years even during our tough years and through lay offs. It's everyone for them selves here! NO RAISES IN YEARS. Work life balance great because there is no OT when needed so just stay home.
