EMC Reviews in Boston, MA Area

Pros

If you are interested in seeing the future of technology, then EMC is the front seat of your dreams.

If you like to take vacation time, you will have the opportunity.

Everyone here is happy with their job.

Cons

It is big like a bank which bought 50 smaller ones, so working here with another "team" is like trying to get a bad tenant to pay the rent.

Politics

Everyone is ALWAYS on Vacation.

It seems some employees spend all their time getting others to do their work for them or pretending they are doing lots themselves. Most commonly in marketing where they will benefit from good results BECAUSE of good products and services regardless of their projects and initiatives.
