They're not even trying anymore.

Cut the dividend already!!!

Promotions

Most employees are very unhappy here. No raises or promotions for anyone ever is pretty demoralizing. I've been at the company 5+years and I don't know a single employee who has been promoted during that time. Seagate has become a very poor company... — read more

Glassdoor Ratings of Seagate: Frightful

If the Glassdoor ratings of Seagate are to be believed, workers do not like working there. I'm a younger (20 something) programmer looking for work. I used to think Seagate was a cool place to work. Now all I read is RIFs, layoffs, clueless... — read more

How pathetic is Seagate Management

How pathetic is it that Seagate actually puts in the effort to post on this site in it's own favor posing as happy employees. What are they freaked out about? Must be a lot of truth on this site for them to actively promote it's own propaganda.

Hamer shipping R&D Dead

Should be a huge cut to R&D come June. Hamer shipping, nothing else in the works for new development. Should save the company a ton of money to give out to the shareholders. A lot less overhead as we produce current product lines until the end.
