Dell

Nothing specific to EMC (and then Dell EMC) stands out as positive.

Overall, the environment was poor, with periodic dips into toxic.

People were treated poorly by management; they were micromanaged and bullied.

There were not any feelings of safety.

Upper management was standard dysfunctional. At first glance, they were positive and seemingly well-intentioned. As time progressed, they became dictatorial and disconnected from engineering.

The behaviors of talent management were similar to those of an abusive partner. The violence was social and emotional, and it was focused on employees.

Leave management.

Reflect deeply whether you are a leader or a manager.

Start over.
