Pros

Just joined Dell through the EMC acquisition. So far, I don't have any major complaints. Mainly, they just let us do business as usual.

Cons

No more Christmas party – boo!

Strange rules regarding management having to be 8s: at least 8 reports to be a manager; nobody can be further than 8 levels deeper than Michael Dell.

This means I have to change my job title, continue to manage my team, and pretend I'm an IC. I suppose that sort of upheaval happens in all mergers.
