If you are not doing bbq with the VPs at their house, you need to look for another job. - Senior Technologist WD Employee Review

Since WDC took over, company benefits are in the down hill trend. Unlimited PTO policy really means no PTO. You need to “fight” time off with coworkers. And you have to explain to your manager why you are taking time off “again”. As to management, flash group turned a family business. The VPs, Sr directors, they are all friends and buddies, hang out at family level, bbq at each other’s home on weekends. Some even brag about their closeness with the bosses. If you are in that circle, you will have a good roles, get promotions. Reward far exceed efforts. If you are not in the circle, you can work 16 hours a day, so real meaningful works, yet, get a pad on the shoulder only. And worst, get more assignments because they know you can get things done. You are simply their tools. At the time of layoff, you will sure be on the chopping block long before their family members. They blatantly act like this in your face as if saying “yes, we are like this, so what, what can you do”. I am very disappointed at this manage style.
