"I cannot say enough positive things about EMC's corporate culture and its treatment of employees. The org chart is very flat -- as a junior manager, I was 5 links below the CEO. Managers give solid, effective feedback and *real* performance evaluations, so you should always know where you stand. In most groups, innovation and new ideas are welcomed -- if you can put together a solid plan and show the numbers."

"Management is confused and believes innovation should come from above, when it has not done so. They say the right thing, but they act very differently.

Very little continuity and job security is weak at best."
