Pluspunten

Easy technical job, decent base salary.

Minpunten

After acquiring Hitachi GST and San Disk, continuous 'reductions in force' left upper management from HGST and technical people from WD, mostly. Problem with this is HGST had strong technical people who would tell upper management what was technologically possible while WD had less strong technical people who were driven by upper management. This has been completely broken now. WD is a broken company with no vision or technical leadership resulting in nonsense technical work and, at best, misleading press releases. NAND pricing will not recover for at least a year and until then WD will continue to miss performance targets and more 'reductions in force' will result. Eventually shareholders will figure out the technical capabilities of the company has been hollowed out.

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
