Don’t forget the very high deductibles in health care! Coworker paid no hospital bills for child #1 under SNDK. Paid over $5k under WD for child #2. We were told SNDK was paying too much for healthcare. My monthly deduction for dental was reduced by $5 (or so), but the yearly dental benefits were halved.
At least you have a job in today's economic climate. Sure Stock, tech, and road map, etc... isn't ideal but at least you have work. That will lead to other things later. Do the best job you can and don't worry about what you can not control.
If you like constantly looking over your shoulder to see who is going to escorted to the parking lot next, then this is the company for you.
Enjoy your time here while you can, but always have your resume ready for the next opportunity elsewhere.
Any layoff happen yet?
I do not recommend joining this company, layoffs every 18 to 24 months, stock price stagnant, and dying disk drive and mature solid state storage technologies. Good luck!
Based on reliable source, there will be layoffs in June.
