Pluspunten

Free coffee/tea Roth contribution to 401(k) Decent salary

Minpunten

While WD acquired HGST, the top management is mostly HGST, while middle is WD. This leads to a schizophrenic culture across the company. Sandisk appears to be an entity onto themselves. After merger, technical path was effectively demoted one step, or equivalently, management path was promoted one level. Poor/non-existent technical managers. Workforce reductions about every six months. Director and below must share office. Rats in my office (as in the four legged furry kind).

Pluspunten

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Minpunten

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
