Seagate takes good care of its employees and the overall work environment is clean and fair. Within the limited budgets they have, the HR tries to manage the rewards reasonably well. If you can prove your value, typically the management will let you run your own show and manage your product or segment. You will work with some very smart people, especially on Product and business marketing side.
Pay is not the best as compared to thers in Technology sector, or even as compared to broader storage industry. Growth opportunities are limited. Once you've worked at Seagate or WD, where can you go next? There is quite a bit of politics between the old Seagate guard and the people they got from WD in 2016-2018 timeframe. One major issue for me was that they lost all employee information to a phishing attack and did nothing much to address it. It shows weak controls and apathy for employees' data. That attitude is a problem. Diversity - At the management level, Seagate is still a white male dominated company with minimal diversity. It doesn't impact day-to-day operations, but limits some growth opportunities if you're not in the club.

Leadership is very secretive, retaliatory and untrustworthy. Senior manager is a bully that treats everyone like children unless they are one of their favorites. Harassment is tolerated and laughed at. There are constant whispers of something negative happening just over the horizon.
Data engineer ii
best place to have hands-on using new technologies. Working with hard disk manufacturing unit. Learning complex factory arrangements. Cross-functional team.
I have not noticed any cons in my duration.
Operatations
1. Highly organized and sanitary workspace. 2. Simple, predictable workflow.
Your experience depends entirely on your manager. A good supervisor makes the job great, but a bad one makes the environment toxic. This leads to many people quitting suddenly。

Lots of wonderful people (assuming you're working in a team with healthy dynamics). Cutting-edge technology development (again, assuming you get into the right teams for that). Focus on growth and compensation rewards for junior employees.
Stagnating compensation over prolonged recovery; questionable ethics in the C-suite (e.g., see export sanctions); persistent and regular use of layoffs to off-set poor financial management.
