Pros
Easy technical job, decent base salary.
Kontras
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.
