I know some really smart and very ambitious people who went to work for EMC over the last few years. Just as a wild guess, I bet there's huge money being made there and very fat bonuses to the people who are seen as delivering it.
Very modest bonus in the trenches. RSUs granted before October 2015 vest early (today). You could buy a nice new car, but not a yacht. (I couldn't buy a Model S with my buyout bump, for example, although I'm sure some others are seeing bigger bonuses.)
Hope the Delliverse works out for them.
