Pros

Technically challenging work in may parts of the company. Strong focus on design and product quality. Reasonably good pay for the area. Many long-term employees who feel comfortable with the culture.

Cons

The company has been successful at making commodity components, but lacks the ability to innovate across the organization. The culture revolves around a production mentality equating contribution to the number of hours spent at the job. Time at work is tracked for all employees including senior management. This is often at the expense of actually performing any work. Management in general does not see any need to improve believing the company is doing just fine.

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
