Pros

Ability to see your vision become a reality, instead of getting stuck in committee at a bigger company.

Enough money to afford to make better decisions.

Cons

Political, schizophrenic execs and senior leaders.

Longer hours.

Focus on the lowest common denominator (see other reviews of ex-employees), not the brightest stars.

Data Domain/EMC good old boys club.

Advice to Management

Promote, grow, and reward from within. There is minimal incentive to perform post-hire. Reward consistent high performers, not people who succeed by cleaning up their own messes.
