Pros

1) Free bagel and fruits on Friday 2) Free Spa-water (whatever that means) during lunch 3) Market rates on salaries when you start your job. 4) Agile

Cons

1) Lack of management clarity is very evident. Programs keep changing or getting cancelled. People get fired and hired very fast 2) Poor quality of HR team. The entire HR team should be revamped, they are cost driven and do not understand value of benefits. No paternity leave and no sick time off, this is 2015 not 90s. Other companies are offering unlimited vacations and SanDisk does not offer new Dad's time-off. People do not become parents every 6 months management. It is a 1-2 times during your entire employment when someone would become a Dad, give folks at least 2 weeks of free time-off. 3) SanDisk is known for multiple hierarchy, they discovered the use of roman numerals to the best. Listen to this, we have Program Manager I, Program Manager II, ......up to Program Manager V before you are made a Sr. Program Manager.

SanDisk Response

Thank you for your constructive feedback! SanDisk’s benefit programs are designed with maximum flexibility in mind, including our Paid Time Off program (PTO). PTO can be used for a variety of reasons including vacation, illness, emergencies, caring for family members or other personal reasons. We want to empower employees to determine how to best use their time off based on personal preference rather than assigning time off for specific purposes. For our Leave program, we allow new fathers to use their PTO to help offset the income gap between their earnings through the state and their normal earnings if they were still working. Any time our employees go on Leave, we encourage them to coordinate with our Leave administrator who can provide expert guidance on how to navigate the government’s Leave system. We continually assess our benefit portfolio against the external market to evaluate emerging trends and overall competitiveness. The Leave program is included in that review and we will continue to shape our program design to remain competitive in the market. We offer many Benefit programs to our employees and we are always open to discuss our current portfolio as well as ways we can improve.

Pros

Good culture and lots of younger folks working here that makes it fun. Rotation opportunities exist and make it possible to learn in many different teams.

Cons

There used to be excellent managers and directors who were able to mentor the teams and bring about good results. With all the attrition and lack of recognition it is not a fun place to work
