Pros

Your team support you. I rarely see internal team conflicts after being here many years. Work/life balance is good enough, not great but not bad either.

Cons

Pay is terrible. Easily 10-15% lower than average in the area. Pay raise average is <2.5%. After the storage products merge between Dell/EMC/Xtremio, the products went downhill due to internal politics. While the engineers from Dell & EMC worked together, the teams and management from Xtremio are impossible to deal with, no communication or collaboration. We have meetings between many scrum teams and they barely show up. Most of the promoted higher ups are from Xtremio so their teams are well protected, no consequences from their actions. After the product launch, they took all the credits to themselves and became the main project leaders while a bunch of Dell & EMC people got reassigned. Ridiculous.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
