Pros

They haven’t laid me off yet. They provide us with new Dell Laptops Entire week of Christmas off. Paid Paternity leave of 6 weeks.

Cons

Just about everyone has been laid off over last 24 months. Stingy with compensation. Future is uncertain in areas previously known as EMC.

Good until Dell acquisition

Business Outlook

Pros

Went through a phase where it stepped out of its legacy process and incubated or acquired some data storage software for modern environments. Lot of success during that phase as well as some innovation. Was able to attract and retain some top notch engineers during this phase. If you are good, you got to work on some interesting distributed systems problems. Unfortunately this phase ended with Dell merger.

Cons

After Dell, the team I was on, was essentially wrecked. Hiring freeze and no attempt to retain best talent meant all good engineers left. Tried to make up by aggressive hiring in cheaper countries but those teams couldn't cope and project quality took a deep dive. No development of new features - all the time spend on trouble shooting. Obsessed with sales but lost customer goodwill due to declining product quality.

Pros

Dell generally has an even pace to their working days. There are lots of nice people to work with.

Cons

The benefits are marginal except for the 401k which is great. Management is below average. They are a meeting happy company so if that is your cup of tea, then this place is for you. They are still in transition of learning how to be a software company.
