Very smart people to work with.

Encourages work-from-home.

Decent work/life balance.

Cons

Dell culture is infecting the EMC culture. Given that EMC itself had a strange culture, it was still a company people loved, both employees and, clearly, enterprise customers. With the Dell merger, it is all going in a terribly wrong direction because the Dell culture is truly an infection that'll take a gold standard enterprise company and turn it into the "race-to-the-bottom" box slinger, like Dell has always been.

Also, it is very clear the debt is taking a toll on the company, so it creates an uneasy atmosphere.

Advice to Management

Spin off EMC to be back on its own again, not part of Dell, no way controlled by Dell, either private or public.
