Pros

Most of the previous pros are gone Decent pay Opportunity to work on large scopes of work

Cons

Unending threat of layoffs every single month. Team morale is at an all-time low, and HR team members conducting employee surveys are told to soften and omit metrics that show team members have lost confidence in leadership. Executives blissfully believe they're brilliant because... Inept, thin-skinned leaders from the top down. They talk the talk of "humility" and "openness," but don't you dare disagree with them. Most leaders lick the boots of the leader above them. Those who don't are sidelined until they can be WFR'd. This only leaves behind the... Leaders who play the game of politics and build their little sandcastle kingdoms. They have an ego-driven need to smear their fingerpaint over every project they see, which is why this company consistently trips over its own feet anytime it tries to do something innovative fast. Executives are convinced it's because they overhired during COVID. The real reason is because of poor leadership BEFORE the pandemic. Dell's goal for a decade—before COVID—was to be a remote-first employer. This allowed them to expand diversity by hiring people who could not work in one of the few brick-and-mortar offices: geography, disabilities, health and family situations. This year, they heartlessly reversed the decade-long strategy and told 100,000 team members that their careers would be frozen if they stayed remote. This was in spite of copious internal HR studies on the positive impact of the remote policy. Remote team members are now ineligible for promotions and marked for future layoffs. The *majority* of US team members still chose to stay remote because—NEWS FLASH—Dell hired them in locations that are up to 11 hours away from the nearest office! Even if you are not a remote worker, it's a bad sign that executives ignore the data and are willing to harm the careers and personal lives of 60,000+ employees on a whim. That's a special kind of psychopathy.

Pros

I have significant tenure at Dell and have ALWAYS been a promoter of our culture our ambitions and strategy. Michael is such a fantastic leader and business man, I have no doubt the company will continue to see great success

Cons

The last 2 years though has felt very different. Employee feedback has gone ignored while it used to be at the forefront of leader strategies. We used to put together action plans for employee dissatisfaction and now it just seems like a "check the box" exercise where the survey was executed, results were communicated but also completely ignored. I am not just referring to the recent return to work requirements and it's impact. There has clearly been a culture shift and not in a good way. All about the numbers and no longer a balance of the people as well. Makes me sad.
