Technically less challenging in few groups and more to learn in other groups

Senior Systems Engineer (Current Employee)
Milpitas, CA (US)

I have been working at SanDisk full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGood company values. Company gives importance to work balance. Salary and RSUs are good. If it is a right team, the work will be really interesting.

ConsAfter few years working in a group its hard to learn any thing new or the job gets less challenging more often .
Management is not really keen in training the employees for improving their skills .
Too many changes in the organisation.
Hard to move between groups

Advice to Senior ManagementMake sure the employee is happy with his or her work. That is what actually push them to move out.

strong company, weak on employee development

Industrial Engineer (Current Employee)
Milpitas, CA (US)

I have been working at SanDisk full-time for more than a year

ProsGrowing Company, Fast Paced, flexible working hours (though if someone sees you leaving early they will not assume you are working from home. bad perception), you get paid..

ConsNo Work-Life Balance, Limited promotion opportunity (though possible). frequent re-org and layoffs, less job security

Advice to Senior Managementpractice what you preach. find balance.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Great Experience for Students

Field Marketering Intern (Former Employee)

I worked at SanDisk full-time for less than a year

Pros- You make your own hours
- Traveled to California HQ for in depth training
- No Micromangement - supervisors are based in California
- Excellent pay for an Internship program + embursed for travel expenses (gas, car insurance)
- Great Experience and helped me get an amazing job after graduation

Cons- Worked alone and out of the house: must be a self starter/motivated or you won't be succussful
- Weren't always given much direction
- No Feedback on performance until my exit interview
- One of MANY (about 50 nationwide) interns - makes it difficult to continue with the company after graduation.

Advice to Senior Managementgive a little more direction because the interns work remotely and give feedback throughout the internship, not just in the exit interview. This is a great opportunity for college students and I hope the program contunues

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Senior software engineer

Senior Software Engineer (Current Employee)
Milpitas, CA (US)

I have been working at SanDisk full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThroughout this guide, the term
“stock-based compensation” refers to all forms of employee compensation that fall
within the scope of ASC 718.

ConsUnder ASC 718, companies that award their employees stock-based compensation
will recognize the fair value of those awards in their financial statements, generally
beginning on the date the awards are granted.

“stock-based compensation” refers to all forms of employee compensation
