Dell EMC

"I've worked here a short while but have noticed how many women are in leadership positions, and that gender is represented pretty equally across several departments that I've encountered. I've encountered nothing but respect and a 'be-yourself' attitude that I find both surprising and refreshing. "

"It's a great place to learn and have a long career, but you need to make sure you have good management and management structure that is inclusive and not "good old boys" club mentality. "

"Woman are a minority here, but benefits are better than average."

"Cross your fingers that you will be one of the lucky ones"

"RSA was a great company, and although it was a male dominated company it was a fun and innovative place to work, and it seemed full of promise. Then EMC acquired them. Imagine a bunch of executives who compare themselves to characters in the movie Goodfellas. They are inappropriate most of the time, and they dare you to take issue with their bad behavior. Their interest in women is limited to the young ones fresh out of college. The ones most likely to party and hit the bars. As for the women who are married, have kids, and/or are older than 40, they can expect their visibility and career to diminish rapidly until they are either laid off or they leave out of frustration. EMC will dazzle you with all their diversity programs and efforts for promoting women in leadership, but the numbers don't lie. Look at their executive pool. Out of 15 business executives only 1 woman, and out of 9 senior executives there is 1 woman. There are no senior female executives at RSA. You can’t promote what you don’t cultivate. EMC and RSA are practiced at investing in and promoting men, and talking a good game when it comes to women. Growth for women over 40 is non-existent. Further life/career balance does not exist, there is no diversity, and they have a very unhealthy corporate culture. This is not an environment for experienced professional women, but if you go to work there it will toughen you up. That’s about the only good thing I can say about it."

"It's been a mixed experience, depending on the project and partner you work with."

"If you feel you are suffering from exclusion or other discrimination, you must keep a diary of these events and also report them to human resources and or the government. Also, some of their clients and customers are very sexist and chauvinistic. There seems to be nothing that can be done when the perpetrator is a customer. "

"EMC (now under Dell) is a good place for women - multiple opportunities to develop your leadership as a woman. Like many tech companies, the culture can be insular and unable to integrate information from the "real world" ou"

"Upper management is almost exclusively men who tend to groom other, younger men. This makes it difficult for women to make a name for themselves within the company"

"Take advantage of all EMC has to offer, work hard, and work hard at promoting your accomplishments. "

"If you work hard and can handle the fast pace you will succeed"

"Long long hours"

"a"

"Boys club from the initiation of the company and slow to change over the 10 years I was there."

"You will make great money! Just make sure you are aligned with upper management to succeed."

"EMC is a boys club and specifically a MA boys club. Very hard to break into the inner circle if you didn't "grow up" with the gang."

"There are not enough women in the senior leadership roles even though the company does work hard to recruit a diverse population at the lower levels."

"EMC is a wonderful company. Great place to get started in your career and experience a fast paced atmosphere. I never felt like I was treated unfairly or any differently than a male. They even have a women's leadership forum to network with other women! However, I am a young woman with no children who is hungry enough to work the 60-70 hours a week with no paid overtime. With that said, I don't think any of the jobs i experienced at EMC provide the work life balance that a woman would need to feel she is not being cheated out of time with her children. Most jobs are tied to the sales cycle which means every end of quarter is a nightmare. Working 8 am to midnight was standard. Unless you are in HR or marketing, I don't see it being a great fit."

"It is a boys club there. Stay away."

"old school boys club"

"Solid employment"
