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

I can honestly say that Dell is a great place to work. There are lots of opportunities to learn and grow as a person and as a professional. Dell is always looking for individuals that can propose better ways to do things, is always trying to improve. Is part of the Dell culture, they are not afraid of changes, in fact Dell believe in changing. Dell also cares a lot about work life balance and it has the goal to become the greenest technology company on the planet. Dell respects they employees and supports diversity, you can be who you really are in here.

Cons

As I said above, Dell is a great place to work. Unfortunately there is no perfect place. I worked on different departments and the Dell experience depends a lot on your direct manager. There are some great managers and other not so great. this can also happen any other place, but I feel is really hard to do something about it here, because your manager approval is needed when you decided you want to work on a different department or business unit. There is a survey where you can evaluate your manager, but it only happens once a year, so, if the manager receives a bad evaluation, he has a whole year to improve and sometimes they just don't try.
