Criticism over non-compete agreements and lobbying
Before its acquisition by Dell, EMC was criticized for restrictive non-compete agreements affecting employees and for lobbying on non-compete policy through Associated Industries of Massachusetts. The issue contributed to a negative aspect of the company’s employment and public-policy reputation, although the available reference does not identify a specific court judgment or quantified financial penalty.
