Consulting at EMC
No Offer – Interviewed in London, England Nov 2011 – Reviewed Nov 24, 2011
Interview Details Hour long telephone interview with a person doing the role, followed by two three hour interviews. Found out two weeks later that their preference was for an internal candidate, despite the fact that they approached me asking was I interested in interviewing for the role! which was also advertised on the web and the EMC web site. All told they don't seem that organised, the people i was talking to seemed to reach decisions by committee.

Senior Technical Consultant at EMC
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Salt Lake City, UT (US) – Reviewed Apr 29, 2013
Interview Details The overall process is usually 3 to 6 months. Best way to get hired is to already know someone who works there or be a good customer. The pay is usually pretty good but the pressure can be intense for long periods of time. Average work week was about 60 hours and there was a lot of travel! Typically you will be asked how you feel about travel and working a few extra hours.
Interview Question – Describe a time when you have had to diffuse a potentially volatile situation in the work place. Describe how you diffused an angry customer. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was pretty much told what they were willing to pay and to take it or leave it.
