Business Outlook
Pros
The company is stable and mature, with a lot of support available if you know how to find it and make your case. Work/life balance is fairly each to achieve - by no means is Emulex a "grind" to work at. Keeping 9 to 5 hours is not uncommon here. There are many employees who have been here 20+ years. Benefits package is fairly generous, especially the 401k plan.
Cons
The conservative nature of the company culture makes innovation and risk-taking difficult sometimes. The company is very top-heavy with many VPs and Directors around, even though they may only manage a handful of staff. Fiefdoms are common since the company grew largely through acquisitions and maintains numerous locations throughout the US and internationally.
