Good but challenging
Sr. Marketing Manager (Current Employee), Hopkinton, MA –
Pros: good healthy food subsidized by the company, good healthcare
Cons: hard work and long hours, 10% laid off every year.
The company has an excellent growth strategy. They are certainly lined up to continue to grow in the double digits for some time.

A lot of last minute work comes down from above. Little time to prepare and lots of meetings. The only time to get your work done is at home after you've left the office.

Otherwise, the people are nice. It can be very silo'd – more...  but they are working on that aspect. Seems that most of the company pushes people hard but there are areas where there seems to have a work life balance. – less

Cool people with upbeat attitudes. Corporate mentality pushes work outside of work.
Field Marketing Specialist (Former Employee), Seattle Headquarters –
The people at EMC are bright and wonderful to be around. Articulate, and funny the ambiance is good. However, the push to make numbers and the corporate mentality can leave talented professionals in its wake.

Terrible Workplace
Inventory Control Officer (Former Employee), Franklin, MA –
Management has little or no training program and allows an obscenity rich hostile work enviorment. No encouragement of teamwork at all.
Instead a cutthroat enviornment of dog eat dog is allowed.

Poor Leadership but Excellent Benefits
Director (Former Employee), Hopkinton –
Pros: excellent benefits
Cons: leadership do not push their employees to grow
Use to work for EMC. Good company with excellent benefits but they tend to keep allot of dead weight in the company which affect the product delivery. The leaders don't push you to grow and when it comes to appraisal review the average is 3%.

Great Company, Management was not compitent
Inside Sales, Contract Management (Former Employee), Franklin, MA –
Pros: benefits
Cons: hiring freezes
EMC is an overall great company with great benefits. The problem was Data General was not a great company with inept micromanagers. My department was full of DGers low motivated non-professional. Do reasearch on area you will be working for. Would go back if department were run by EMC employees.

Challenging and Rewarding
Principal Financial Analyst (Former Employee), Hopkinton, MA –
Pros: do you have the right dna!
Cons: at times demanding dead lines
Any good company challenges their employees to do their best all the time; EMC is no exception. The rewards are there as well. If you work hard on special projects, there are awards given to employees. I have met a lot of great people. We have challenging days, but at times we can sit around after work at a local pub and have a few beers to un-wind.
