Pros

Good Name. Good technology. Lots of smart engineers

Cons

Lots of arrogance; people are still walking around enjoying the smell of their own flatulence. They have yet to understand that they aren't the only player in the game and that the competition is catching up. The IPO was a bust and if they don't begin to understand that they need to do something quick, they won't be around for much longer.

Pros

Possibly a valuable technology for the future of this country- Green Data Centers. A Technical leader in virtualization, with many partner companies. The employee benefits are good.

Cons

career paths limited, salaries seldom vary from "hired in" amount. Stay out of GSS, the technical support department gets little respect, and less pay. Now going head-to-head with Microsoft, and this affects both stock value, and the amount of money the company is willing to spend on employees. Corporate leadership is 100% controlled by EMC, as they own 99% of the voting stock, until that changes, expect no "flashes of genius" in strategy.

Pros

I love the office, the flexible schedules and the work is very interesting. The campus is very beautiful and located in a natural environment. Many people are able take a break during the day and go on a bike ride up in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Cons

The replacement of our CEO has created a lot of chaos in upper management.
