"Worked from 2016-17 . Not a Great place to work ."

"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."

"I worked for Western Digital for the last three years and found it to be a productive and innovative technology company."

"I have worked with Western Digital since 2008 at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I have learn and grow my manufacturing and engineering skills with Western Digital. Western Digital is a very strong company, it had opened up transferred opportunity for me to move to the United States to further my career."
