Sandisk Work Experiences

Bad for growth

Engineer • Current Employee

August 13, 2009

Pros: The NAND department at least gave some free dinner during tapeout time.

Cons: Other engineering departments could not care less if you are working late, there is no incentive, and management is very pushy to get jobs done ASAP. Mediocre salary and no clear direction; we have had so many reorgs (2-3) and layoffs in the past few years. Rule of thumb is to expect layoffs at least once a year, followed by a new round of hirings. I guess they want to trim excess fat, but they do it often and the employees lose their morale.

strong company, weak on employee development

Industrial Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Growing company; fast-paced; flexible working hours (though if someone sees you leaving early, they will not assume you are working from home, which is a bad perception); you get paid.

Cons: No work-life balance and limited promotion opportunity (though possible). Frequent re-orgs and layoffs, and less job security.
