Pros

For the most part, the people are really great and make working at Dell very enjoyable. Work/life balance is supported by most managers and, as long as you get your work done, you can pretty much come and go as you please (within reason of course). In addition, since Dell is such a large company with a global presence, there is a wide range of departments, jobs, and locations, so you have opportunities to not only interact with lots of different functions and cultures, but also to potentially work in different areas and locales. (Now, whether or not you're actually able to move to another department or location is a completely different story!)

Cons

The expectations tend to be unrealistically high and the pressure to perform beyond those expectations is enormous. Many people suffer from extreme stress and related health problems due to the high demands of the job. It's not unusual to work 60+ hours a week on a regular basis. The environment has become particularly tough since the latest round of layoffs started last year. Many benefits have been reduced or eliminated (like annual bonusses and the employee stock purchase plan) and a standard phrase you hear these days is "If I'm still here... (when the project ends, etc.)". The culture has really changed over the past few years and it's become an increasingly difficult place to work.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
