Vantaggi
EMC had a great company culture, characterized by an obsessive focus on the customer. Outstanding people across the board from executive leadership to individual contributors. Historically, leadership has done a good job of leading the business and aligning the workforce around a strategy.
Svantaggi
The merger with Dell has changed that, at least at the moment. Mass confusion about where we are going, re-orgainzations, layoffs, lack of clear, consistent vision as to where we are going as a company and how we can get there exists across my division. Organizational upheaval is paralyzing decision making and has created a leadership vacuum. Platitudes and generalities from the executive level isn't leadership and isn't what's needed now. It feels as though we have lost our focus. Hopefully things will improve as the organization settles itself out.
