Working at EMC in Hopkinton, MA: 75 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Hopkinton, MA Area

"EMC has been an extremely nice company to work for, however over the years it has been consistent at its level of underpaying for its staff. EMC'ers will habitually leave the company in order to advance as EMC has a habit of short-changing advancement opportunities."

"Great company to get SAN and Cloud experience, along with hardware and practices for medium and small business."

"I've worked at EMC for 4 years now. I have achieved my CCNA, I have also worked with architecture team to evaluate and select enterprise multicast and VoD solution. Implemented over 30 Cisco TelePresence/Video Conferencing systems worldwide. Within my time at EMC I have continuously troubleshot and solved complex Video Collaboration issues."

"I've worked at EMC for 7 years. People were great. Sometimes the company lacked focus and grow so fast that it lost direction at times. Company hard troubles putting the big picture together and at times the product offering seem to conflict. Synergy could be improved. Organizational structure was the core of the lack of synergy. Too Many chiefs!!! Competition is fierce and the HW is a commodity thus not preventing competitive entry. SW is being focused which is good, however transition is poor. Transition would be better off if the change is driven from within instead of always looking outside for all the answers. Eventually by creating the constant purge the company loses its identity and is a breeding ground for more competition. EMC still needs to learn how to play nice with its ecosystem."

"I've started working for EMC as an intern in 2010. It has been great to me ever since, it is the the nature of the work that has gotten stale and almost insufferable.They have poor mid-level leadership, no idea how to organization their infrastructure and do not know how to utilize the technology they have provided their employees.Great place to work, the ability to work from home is fantastic (though depending on if you have a micromanaging manager then it is a pain)."

"When I joined EMC in 2003, the company had already begun a transformation under Joe Tucci. It quickly became one of the top 100 places to work. Strong management practices allowed EMC to make acquisition and focus changes with exceptionally good ROI. EMC is a place where people love to work. They work hard and smart and much is accomplished with solid results quarter after quarter. I was proud of the integrity of corporate culture, the diversity, and rewards."

"I had been with the company for 15 years. Early on there was a lot of incentives and opportunities for advancement. We were focused on providing the best possible product for the customer. The last 10 years have brought lots of changes in culture. ALL middle and upper management positions are filled from the outside and all technical positions are filled with work visa holders (or hired offshore) so there is absolutely no opportunities for advancement. Product quality no longer seems to matter."

"The best company I've ever worked for. It's my second time working for EMC and I'd recommend it to anyone for it's employee-friendly environment."

"Solid company that pays well. If you're looking to have great relationships with co-workers this may not be the place. It is a very cutthroat environment where money is king and nothing else matters. I understand businesses have to make money but in my opinion one should give the work environment and quality of work more importance. Change comes extremely often for a company its size and it is not all well thought out or conceived."

"I have been working at EMC for almost 8 years. It is one of top leaders in information infrastructure software and hardware products, software solutions and services. It employs more than 20.000 employees around the world and provides a good package of benefits, salary and workplace environment."

"I have worked for EMC for 20 years. During that time the company has been changing from a startup mentality to a very corporate style. I've been pretty happy with EMC and have done many very interesting and challenging projects."

"Great company to work for."

"I have worked with EMC Corporation since 2009 as an intern and have been impressed with the work ethics, culture and vision of the company and my group within the company."

"A wonderful experience. My time at EMC Corporation was both beneficial in expanding myself as an individual and professional. Management were knowledgeable and friendly. The experience could not be replaced. Highly recommend."

"The company has much opportunity, especially for the technology inclined. It is a good old boys club, though, and be prepared to pay the price if not in the club. Stock price is stagnant and although I do like the CEO, he has not been able to move the stock. Increasing shareholder value is, after all, his primary job."
