Seagate Technology Employer Reviews

I worked 12 hour rotating shifts. At times this was difficult as I had a young child and balancing family time with work commitments was challenging. In general, I did enjoy working in Seagate as it provided my family with financial security and through certain courses provided by the company,gave me the incentive to return to further education. There – more... was a good atmosphere between my co-workers, helping each other when the work load was particularly heavy in a certain area. I found most managers were rigid in how they overseen the work in their section. I feel that they lacked in emotional intelligence which affected the quantity and quality of the product as they did not have the ability to motivate the workforce, resulting in difficulties in spearheading change. – less

working in Seagate Thailand gave me good experience to connect with people and how to deal with critical situation. Although there were so many time consuming tasks during the day and the data base was not well managed. Overall Good!!

I worked at Seagate for 15 years and hope to find another place that encompasses all of the great experiences I had there. They challenge, advance and encourage their employees.

Lots of variables to track in the test development process and I try to come up with methods to design around the hurdles. In general, I find this process of designing a test, developing it its maturity and finally deploying it to be an – more... enjoyable process. I've learned lots of new skills including project management, better use of my time, prioritizing the items on my list of job responsibilities.
My manager is always helpful either through one-on-one meeting or other technical meetings. These are open meetings where I present my summary from the test data and other engineers and managers comment on the results. The work environment is pretty good as is my relationship with my colleagues.
