Senior Information Protection System Administrator (Former Employee), Westborough, MA – November 7, 2012
Pros: brilliant peers, exemplary management
Cons: moves at the speed of government.
EMC has a well established reputation, but my experience was one with a breadth of openness and sharing between groups that reflects its multi national status. When things had to get done there were no obstacles too large.

Not a good place for women
Contractor (Former Employee), Southborough, MA – October 27, 2012
Pros: great pay
Cons: very low number of women
Seems like everyone who works there was that really smart, but really annoying "know-it-all" kid in school. EMC should stand for the "Egotistical Men's Club" (squared). Seems like everyone spends most of their time trying to show you how smart they are, to the point where sometimes it interferes with getting work done.

Since few women there, men could – more... be very insensitive. One day said "I'm having a bad hair day". One man responded with "rather than worry about your hair, you should be worried about your brown teeth instead". Even if it were true, I was mortified that that someone I barely knew would respond to me that way. – less

Excellent experience gained at EMC. All the managers were always very supportive and open to new ideas.
EMEA Training Logistics Coordinator (Former Employee), Brentford, London – October 15, 2012
Pros: excellent working conditions and my hard work was always recognised
Cons: i wish my contract could have continued for longer
I learned much about organising international training events and thoroughly enjoyed liaising with internal departments, with the sales force in EMEA and with my team in the UK and the US. There was a sense of satisfaction in making the events happen having negotiated my way through some fairly complex internal processes.

Company was better when Service wasn't a cost center.
Customer Engineer / Field Service (Former Employee), Albany, NY – October 15, 2012
Pros: latest technology
Cons: no life
I have a rather negative and bias opinion of the management & work environment here so I’d like to elect to just keep my mouth shut.

Great folks to work with
Technical Program Manager (Current Employee), Pleasanton, CA – October 8, 2012
Pros: great hard working folks who are dedicated and smart.
Cons: financial and/or promotional rewards can be long coming unless you are connected.
Work life is demanding with long hours 50 - 60 on a regular basis. The extra effort is not always rewarded with a promotion or salary increase.

IT company or mob organisation ?
Manager (Former Employee), EMEA – September 28, 2012
Pros: good products, money can be good
Cons: crooked, corrupted place and practices
I've never seen a company where corruption is so rife. It starts at the lowest level up to the highest (regions Vice presidents).

This company has no ethics, nor any specific culture except making more and more money on the back of their customers and employees. "The end jsutify the means" is the motto of most of the management.

While one can make – more... really big buks in EMC, it requires to be completely blind and deaf regarding business practices.

I have seen employees, partners or external middle men paying large amount of money to customers to win tenders or deals in some countries where markets are easily won by corruption (middle east /africa/ eastern europe).

I have seen very often people getting promoted by sleeping with their managers.

I have seen complete useless people earning a lot of money while doing asbolutely nothing (nobody could even understand their titles).

This company regularly cheats on employees salaries and commissions and if you ever open your mouth, then harassement begins.

Basically, this is a small mob environment where you can have big power and money if you close your eyes and play the game. But if you have a minimum of morals and ethics, you'd better seek a job elsewhere. – less

Great company to work given they are the storage leader
Consultant Product Manager (Former Employee), Hopkinton, MA – September 23, 2012
Pros: free coffee, demanding company
Cons: management could be significantly improved to make it a better place to work
It is a very demanding company providing the best environment to learn the storage and cloud market. They do business with the world's most demanding and largest customers.

EMC is very customer focused, and listens very well to customers requirements and direction for determining future product direction.

The engineers are second to none, and are – more... very responsive to customer issues. They are also great to work with during new product launches as they partner with you in the development of product launch material and content. – less
