Pros

• Strong culture • Excellent compensation • Collaborative environment • Great co-workers and team • Work Hard/Play Hard mentality • Strong executive leadership • Ability to be creative and do your job autonomously

Cons

• A lot of politics and bureaucracy for a ‘small’ company • Why change it if it isn’t broken mentality doesn’t consider changing it because it is no longer applicable for a larger population • Managers generally focus less on managing people than other work deliverables • Huge lack of infrastructure • Too focused on contractor/temp hires versus building and growing in-house talent

Pros

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Cons

If you'd ask me a year or 2 ago, I would have given the company 5 stars. But, as with most tech companies now, they've started to follow the trend of return to office, regardless of logic. There's little to no room for exceptions and the company would rather sacrifice productivity regardless if they know the hardships for people living in metros (one way commute to the NY or SJC office can take 2 hours one way!) - that and there's no commuter benefits. You have to pay out of pocket and live in fear of not receiving your bonus if you miss the "thrive together" quarterly requirements.
