Pros

1. You get to work with the brighest minds in Storage/HPC. So lot of learning opportunities. 2. Flexible timings and work from home. 3. Very friendly and supportive work culture. 4. Management listens to your carreer related concerns and supports you. 5. If you work hard and perform, there is no problem with salary/compensation. 6. DDN has products that span multiple domains be it userspace/kernel/parallel file system/cloud so there is a vast scope for learning.

Cons

Some passionate enginners might not like the lack of balance (tilted more in the direction of the former) b/w This is what we would like you to build vs What would you like to build ?

Pros

There WERE great people who worked there. But wow, they are dropping like flies. “Unlimited” PTO

Cons

Benefits are weak, pay is way below industry for engineers. Leadership is literally ripping out entire departments from the top down.A VP is fired, the new person starts, the new person fires the entire team and replaces it with their own people. A person will be let go and days later the replacement will start. It has impacted so many departments and isn’t stopping any time soon. I’ve already seen it happen in Product/engineering, Finance, HR, Recruiting and other outlying departments. Most people I’m aware of are actively looking because they know the goal is to basically rebuild the company with all new people. It’s chaotic, it’s toxic, RUN!
