Pros

Good pay when you hit your goals, great pay when you exceeded.

Cons

Few promotion opportunities, even for top producers. Sometimes, you would be forced to pass on a wonderful promotion or opportunity, because your current team couldn't handle losing your performance (i.e. if you were carrying the team as a top performer, you could be told you couldn't take a new opportunity, even if it is what you have been working for all along.)

Pros

Benefits/ pay. Very bright workforce

Cons

Very competitive, to the point that you aren't sure who to trust. I had a manager title, but did not manage anyone. All of the people managers had an agenda and were ready to step on anyone who got in their way.

Pros

Entrepreneurial sprit still exists within Dell - employees who are ambitious and able to seize opportunities can quickly ascend into key decision-maker roles. Relatively few political issues versus other large IT companies I've worked for. Generally a more family friendly, work/life balance friendly environment than I found in my Silicon Valley days. Also, the prevalance of using "meritocracy" as the primary means for salary/reposibility growth seems greater here than at similar orgs.

Cons

Dell is for self-starters - there is no published "playbook" or "owners manual" manual for managing your career. people who are adept at managing their own path and executing without hand-holding tend to do well here. People who want a more formulaic approach to a career path will be frustrated.
