Pros

Global company with good management of future business opportunities. Solid control of the supply chain that is vertically integrated with volume manufacturing of leading-edge development of products ranging from SSD server racks to NAND memory manufacturing. Requires cooperation of a diverse set of technical expertise and job functions.

Strong management of company financials. Careful with expenditures, manufacturing efficiency, and product margins.

Culture and benefits typical of tech companies. Constantly challenged by impossible design targets and schedules. Company pushes people to work hard. Engineering teams are goal focused with a shared sense of responsibility to deliver results.

Company introduced health and wellness programs. Encourages contributions back to the community.

Cons

Expectations for results are high. If you're looking for a quiet place to settle down, this is not for you.

Constant reorganizations. Individuals may experience a lot of churn. If you're not politically astute, you'll be left behind.

Work style expects people to toe the line and go along with management. Better to keep your head down and keep your opinions to yourself.

Extremely stingy when it comes to reviews and promotions.
