Pros

A good amount of interesting work. Stable company. Decent pay. Pretty fair employee evaluation if you keep your head down and avoid the politics. Pretty manageable workload.

Cons

In a niche - tape - that is in long term decline. Growing share of a declining market can make an ok lifestyle but this is never going to be the next Facebook. Benefits pretty stingy.

Thank you. Spectra has been in business for 36 years and we do not anticipate a significant change to the fundamentals of the company. We do manage hiring closely as well as watching expenses as we do not subscribe to the boom-bust management cycle that other hi-tech firms subscribe. Spectra has expanded our product offerings to include disk (Verde and DPE) as well as a private cloud offering (BlackPearl and ArcticBlue). Spectra offers many ways to save customers’ digital data forever. If you would like to discuss any of your comments further please send me an email jeffb@spectralogic.com

Pros

Spectra is a diamond in the rough... Like most companies the pay or benefits might not always be the best with the industry but this company truly cares about its employees like I have never experienced before in my 23 years in the industry.

Cons

Benefit costs were a bit much, but seems to be the theme for most places of employment these days.

Pros

Spectra culture is bouncing back. If you survived the toxic hires at the upper levels the last few years, most of them are now gone. Overall things have improved dramatically and the organization is well positioned to take advantage of the strange dynamics that exist in the data storage industry today. There is a LOT of upside, and the majority of people care deeply.

Cons

There are still some pockets of resistance and some places in Spectra that can't seem to accept working on a team without having to control everything. That type of attitude is declining thankfully.
