Pros

Good Benifits Fun Environment at times Competitive Compensation Perks of working for Dell Technologies Service Offering is second to none and the future is bright

Cons

Often unreasonable demands from management Fluctuating OTE plan, rarely in SS favor Direct leadership can be challenging to work with. Working under an individual with substance abuse problems can prove to be detrimental to one's individual success within the team. Verbal abuse and saboteur-esque behavior prevents most level headed individuals from performing to his or her potential.

Pros

The individual teams at Dell SecureWorks are great to be on and great overall group of people. Working here can be very fun and your peers are the best thing about the company.

Cons

Issues with Management . You will find that many managers are lazy and don't push for your pay or support you. Dell SecureWorks pays you based on what other MSS centers pay their employees but that data is old and doesn't actually reflect the market. SOC Managers have a bad reputation inside the Secureworks division for not pushing better pay for their current employees. Working in the SOC is also uncomfortable. The SOC is a closed off part of the office and the smell is bad and you share desks/keyboards with people who have bad hygiene.

Pros

Benefits and time off are okay. Good location. Clean working areas. The technology is old. Architects had to educated in Java/JDBC/WSDL, etc. So, it doesn't take a great deal of effort to look like someone special.

Cons

Managers have no recent practical engineering experience, just MBA degrees. Failed a security audit a couple of years ago. Sales department seems to be driving product development.
