Pros

Xyratex is a good place to work if you want to meet nice people. The pension is OK and the company can be quite flexible to your personal needs. Training is a benefit if your manager see's fit.

Cons

The middle management is questionable to say the least. Confusion as to who does what is creeping in and tension is building throughout the company due to re-structuring. Empty promises are an everyday occurrence now. Rewarding hard working employees for their contributions seems to have diminished over the past few years, and even when a promise is made, it gets pushed further back and back until eventually forgotten about. Employees don't care as much any more due to lack of recognition.

Pros

For technical jobs, the opportunity to be involved in the development of a very exciting technology and state of the art products, strong benefit package, work with some talented people,

Cons

Lack of strong management, sweatshop mentality, very sad lack of overall direction for company and divisions within company, very poor communication to workforce, poor treatment of line employees and professional workforce by majority of managers. Often one hand does not know what the other is doing. Very political environment has created an environment of general fear of speaking out which curtails creativity at many levels. The general knowledge that once a product is developed it will be off shored to the Malaysia manufacturing site. Vested ownership of engineering is difficult if not impossible in this scenario.
