      Pros

      Good Name. Good technology. Lots of smart engineers

      Cons

      Lots of arrogance; people are still walking around enjoying the smell of their own flatulence. They have yet to understand that they aren't the only player in the game and that the competition is catching up. The IPO was a bust and if they don't begin to understand that they need to do something quick, they won't be around for much longer.

      Trying to become a major player

      Technical support engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Possibly a valuable technology for the future of this country- Green Data Centers. A Technical leader in virtualization, with many partner companies. The employee benefits are good.

      Cons

      career paths limited, salaries seldom vary from "hired in" amount. Stay out of GSS, the technical support department gets little respect, and less pay. Now going head-to-head with Microsoft, and this affects both stock value, and the amount of money the company is willing to spend on employees. Corporate leadership is 100% controlled by EMC, as they own 99% of the voting stock, until that changes, expect no "flashes of genius" in strategy.

      Hopefully the small company values will stay.

      Pros

      Working for the biggest virtualization vendor. Excellent benefits and excellent training opportunities. When there is downtime, we are pushed to learn whatever we can to better ourselves and contribute to the company. Company outings and time together come much more often than anywhere I've ever worked at. Benefits are excellent and compete with much larger companies (due to being part of a much larger company). Career growth opportunites are there, but not always necessarily to help you get promoted. It is very hard to get into the company unless you know some one or are in the right place at the right time. This can also be classified as a bad thing.

      Cons

      Growing too big too fast. Management often too busy or driven towards "numbers" to stay personal with their subordinates. It is very hard to get into the company unless you know some one or are in the right place at the right time. This can also be classified as a good thing.
