Seagate Technology R&D Engineer reviews

Lack of progression Lower salary than industry due to location Location - very hard to integrate into the local area when you’re not from there as it’s a city with a small town mentality. Everyone at work is great and there is a good community of people (particularly young people) at work but it’s very difficult to integrate into non-Seagate life Slow to change R&D director is not a fan of remote working HR pull rank and are not accommodating Extremely difficult to negotiate change to working hours / patterns / move to part time etc. Can be an “us and them” between r&d and other departments as we’re seen to be causing trouble and break things. We need to do things different to the production line to learn and make the next gen of products but it isn’t always the same view of other departments. Male dominated environment, often you can be the only female in a meeting so you have to take a more masculine approach to be heard Projects are huge and full of obstacles Projects always run late No obvious formal project management style(s)

Lack of progression. Salary not competitive compared to similar jobs in other regions.
