An exasperating place to work, especially for technical people. - werkgeversreview Technical Director bij WD

Variable pay (bonus) is used as a carrot (or stick) to give employees incentive to work hard. All people seem to worry about is their bonus. Very few technically-strong people. WDC makes money by doing, not thinking. As technology evolves this, will jeopardize the company viability. WD employees are extremely risk-averse, since if you try something new or creative and you don't hit a home run, you will get penalized - your bonus may get reduced. This attitude stifles innovation.
