Pros

Work environment is relatively good and still with decent people trying to make the best of the situation

Cons

Seagate cannot seem to be able to handle acquisition and mergers at all. Every M&A is a failure and then company is impacted Denial about solid state and upcoming rival technologies. Seagate is failing to address all these leading to a definitely shrinking revenue. A slow and steady slide down. With the changes to the IT leadership, it is now all about achieving targets. So the work environment is now about self survival and has become toxic and political. No hesitation to throw someone else under the bus for their own benefit
