Pros

Dell was an excellent launching pad for a career in operations or Supply Chain management. Having Dell on my resume has been a great introduction to other jobs. Also, Austin is an awesome place to live.

Cons

I found the leadership to be very arrogant. Based on its early successess, some of the old school employees felt like they knew best and were not open to new ideas. I also felt the shift from desktop to laptop computers made our jobs and operations less relevant.

Pros

Dell is a world leading well recognised brand and so this opens doors for you when trying to meet new customers. The products are essentially well engineered and well made and the people who work for the Company are generally hard working and dedicated (although this is slowly being knocked out of them). The CEO is a visionary and understands the need to continually re-invent the Company to keep it moving forward.

Cons

The Company has slowly transitioned from an innovative , fleet of foot , sales led organisation , into a lumbering global monster that is essentially run by the Finance Department. Risk taking and innovation is all but strangled and morale amongst the wrokforce is appalling. Senior Management "talk the talk" but do not "walk the walk" , when the question regarding morale and how do we make the Company a great place to work is responded to honestly ; then the responses are always qualified and / or disregarded . The sales teams have received two pay cuts in the past 12 months on top of redundancies - not a great place to be at the moment.

Pros

Great learning experience; fast-paced atmosphere; global outlook. It offered me many opportunities for travel and learning about other cultures when working on various projects, which I would not have gotten in other companies. My team members in countries all around the globe were mostly fantastic, motivated, intelligent people who really care about their jobs. Dell also does pay more than most companies; however, you'll spend so much time working, you won't have much time to spend the money! The benefits package is also excellent, with (I think) 4% 401K matching, and good health / vision / dental benefits as well.

Cons

Very long work days--7AM to 10PM is very common (although not all in the office--they do let you take calls at home). Very little chance for advancement if you don't fit into their "mold" and aren't comfortable constantly promoting yourself to execs. Excelling at your job isn't enough to get ahead; you need to be extremely competitive (one might say "cut-throat") and be willing to advance on the backs of others. They had made some efforts at work-life balance a few years ago, but now with many of the formerly US-based jobs going overseas, you'll spend a majority of your time on conference calls, early morning and late night.
