Pros

Package at joining. You get your maximum from CTC, no hidden optional benefits.

Cons

1. Favoritism 2. Blind (mis)conception over some 3. No proper growth in terms of salary, your college juniors would be joining at better package than what you are getting after so many years of experience. 4. No clarifications you would get, if you feel you are being treated badly at appraisals 5. You don't get any scope for assessing the usability of new technologies 6. You would be always working on the same decade old things 7. You won't feel like a Great Place at all

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.
