Pros

If your good at networking, Dell will suit you. It's all about who you know.

Cons

Dell has rolled out performance improvement plans to a large volume of staff with many more to come in the near future. Due to the legacy processes and procedures that are never changed, it's a company that continues to run in the same circles without making progress. Costs are always used to make decisions, no planning goes into ROI with staff. Salaries therefore are not competitive with the market. Experienced individuals are almost non-existent and coaching others in addition to their own roles. Luck or orchestrated results against targets are the only reasons for overachievement.

Pros

Compensation is above local market - depending on hard work, networking, patience, etc. Employees are very hard working and good people Dell supports a strong work/life balance - most work from home at least 2 days a week and they support outside activities Overall benefits are strong, but healthcare is slowly declining - excellent 5% 401k match program

Cons

Career advancement is very dependent on networking, connections versus outright job performance. Advancement can be very difficult also due to the significant amount of reorganizations that occur (minimum of 1 to 2 times per year - regardless of the division that you work Training is just focused on minimizing risk for the company, not for employee advancement Leadership more interested in driving their strategy/agenda and many may not listen to employee's recommendations on improvements to the business

Pros

A good place to learn about the complex systems. Flexible working hours People in the 3-6 year experience level can benifit

Cons

Pathetic managers in the software industry existing in Dell. Most of them not deserve to be in software industry. They only threatens the engineers. Only the bootlickers can survive there. You will painfully watch others are taking credit of your work repeatedly. No promotions at all. Your only attraction is the salary offered at the time of joining. After that only dream of getting a descent hike. Variable pay is another Big factor. That is introduced for not giving to employees. Every time manager say shamefully that your performance is not good as the previous cycle and because of my cosideration you are still in the team. So if you have any plan to work in IT industry, Never think of joining DELL.
