"Western Digital is a good place to work. Even a good place for a career. Its challenge for many is its size. With many large companies its hard to loose the perspective you are just part of the larger hole. As company focused on commodity hardware sales much of the focus is on cost reduction / avoidance. This is not bad in anyway however it can challenge those are more interested in doing big things. Why ? At a large company you will need to work the proper channels as well as the side channels to make big moves. 4 Stars? Its a large company its hard to move upward or outward. And again the focus is commodity hardware sales."
