What don't you like about working at EMC?

"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. They are stuck in a cycle of developing products, burying them in India, laying off those workers, and buying a new company to do something new. Very little continuity and job security is weak at best."

What suggestions do you have for management?
