Pros
I enjoyed my time at Western Digital mainly because of the team I was on. Everyone was supportive, and growth was prominent. My manager was also one of the best, taking the time to understand our work scope, jumping in to help, and backing us up. We had a great team dynamic, and work-life balance was there. Everyone understood we have a life outside work and there's no stress about creating our own schedule, but still getting our work done.
Kontras
The company overall is unstable since there's a lot of ambiguity about the future and where teams will be placed. Due to finances, they've stopped 401k matching, semi-annual bonuses, and no Annual Compensation Review for the past year. Employees that are still there are unhappy, like no bonuses, no 401k, no ACR, how do they expect to retain employees? The talented employees have begun to leave one by one already. There's no long-term growth here. You have to play politics well and kiss up to upper management to get promoted. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck being a B-grade employee that will never see a promotion for years, despite doing your work well.
