Pros

- Direct manager and my VP was supportive, transparent and smart. - Lots of freedom to experiment and grow in my role. - Good pay and benefits.

Cons

- The transition from fully remote to 5 day RTO was handled very poorly by senior leadership, and the way they're responding to people's very loud and clear disapproval and concern is even worse. - Lack of transparency and honesty. Everyone knows the reasons given for policy changes or attempts at efficiency via AI are double-speak. For example, just because the Zoom AI can summarize our meeting notes doesn't mean you should gut your Project Management Offices. PM's do so much more than simply summarize a meeting and send out notes to people. What a lack of wisdom and understanding! - Rigid policies that attempt to control employees in ways that don't contribute to productivity, efficiency, or innovation. - Old school mentality from Michael Dell and his direct reports. They truly don't seem to know how to have a dialogue. What I mean by that is "professional", polished (aka fake) and sanitized messaging doesn't work anymore. People need and expect honesty. Authenticity. Not reading from a prompt and manufactured hype. Gross.

Pros

Great place if you're looking for work-life balance or settling down. Supportive team and genuinely good colleagues. Decent benefits and stability.

Cons

Stagnant career growth – Learning opportunities are scarce unless you hustle outside the job. The role itself won't push you forward. Upskilling is just for show – Even if you invest your time and effort to learn new things, the environment won’t let you apply any of it. Growth is blocked by outdated mindsets. Company-first, people-last – Organizational goals are prioritized while employee development is an afterthought. You’re a cog, not a creator. No promotions, no hikes – Recognition comes in words, not raises. Every attempt to ask is met with the same script: “Everyone is waiting for a promotion” or “We truly value your contribution.” Spoiler alert: That value doesn’t show up in your payslip. Token morale boosters – Don’t expect meaningful change. Instead, brace yourself for a thank-you email or an ice cream day and pretend it’s motivation. Good place to rest. Not to grow. Stay too long, and you'll forget what ambition feels like.

Pros

Pays slightly better than unemployment

Cons

Absolutely everything. Micromanagement increased as soon as they lowered wages. Bonus payments are never on time. They never communicate when payroll will have delays. Leadership expects you to go all in on Dell's mission, but they're not even sure what that mission is. This company throws the word innovation around yet all they do is copy competitors and fail at doing so. If you're thinking about Dell just go to a comedy club instead.
