Great place to work before EMC took over

Pros

The employees, including individual contributors, mid-level managers, and a few directors. Pleasant work environment, good work-life balance, interesting projects. Good compensation and benefits and good reward and recognition program. I'm giving it three stars instead of two because I liked my fellow employees so much and have made some life-long friends there. I gave a thumbs up to Art Coviello, but he's not really running the company anymore.

Cons

Lack of vision and direction, which has led to low morale and serious attrition as more and more employees become discouraged and confused about where the company is going. The only RSA product that's had real success is SecurID. Whenever the company doesn't make its goals, its first action is to lay people off. It's all about making money for the investors and the guys at the top. But that's the norm at big companies now.

Pros

I've been in the Tech sector (Finance) for over 40 years and RSA/EMC has by far the most professional and capable people that I have had the pleasure to work with. Senior management is truly interested in career development and employee satisfaction.

Cons

Other than the workload at quarter end, none that come to mind.

Pros

Industry leader, Great products, technology and quality. Some great people working on them, with Incredible depth of knowledge. Excellent industry exposure.

Cons

Out of touch senior management, rotating through, problems making acquired technologies work. Sudden layoff purges when plugs are pulled or shifted to Indian office. EMC bureaucracy is slowly ossifiying processes while trying to "fix" things. Never considered for promotion.
