Data Domain – “A cool product, managers are d*****bags.”

Pros

They actually compensated me very well, salary-wise. The product was actually fairly cool, fun to work with, and relatively easy to implement. Generally speaking, it just WORKED.

Cons

I can't even describe the attitude of the management team. Never have I worked with a more unsupportive, self-serving group of people. I'm sure that they eat their own young. I'm really not surprised that EMC bought them - it's a perfect corporate culture match made in the fires of hell.

Advice to Senior Management

Here's a start: Stop hiring Satan's minions and promoting them into management positions. Other than that, keep up the good work!
