Pros

Dell looks good on your CV Dell is thought of highly in the IT industry

Cons

Removing all the reasons to work at Dell. SCP (Sales compensation Plan) is completely unfair, unles you achieve 90% your commission is decelerated. Morale could not be worse Staff have lost many of the compensation benefits in their package (eg Dell cancelled the employee share purchase program ESPP)

Pros

The best thing about working in Dell Hell is alot of the employee's you meet are great, unfortunately when it comes to management and HR type employee's Dell seems to hire from a pool of vacuous, mindless, cruel pack animals. Management + HR (in Ireland anyway) are taught to abuse , bully , backstab the employee's they manage and then protect each other, regardless of the truth one manager will never cross another. The mismanagement is incredible, you only have to see how every quarter they chase their tales because metrics are the God in Dell , forget about the customers just manipulate the stats / metrics, so in the end I suppose the best thing about working in DELL is when you finally move on and quit, it's like being reborn or maybe it's what it feels like leaving prison after a long tortureous stay. This is what many have said after leaving and I can confirm it, I've left the abusive work envirment that is Dell and have a new job that has no bullying, manipulating managers or faked targets and metrics, life is good.

Cons

The constant barrage of metrics littered with all the awful acronyms they come up with like OTFTF ( On time first time fix) etc, they have an acronym for everything so as to sound really important. I also believe that if you stay in DELL too long you become institutionalised like a prison who's been incarcerated for 20 years , you cant adjust to living on the outside so if you spend too much time in DELL you bring all the bull***t with you to another job and you find other jobs so much more pleasureable , and you wonder why you didn't leave earlier

Pros

Sol8d Benefits & Compensation: The company's core benefits package is genuinely strong. The health benefits are good and the 401k employee match is solid. Additionally, if you were fortunate enough to survive the recent reductions, you can still collect a consistent, semi-decent paycheck. ​Talented Colleagues: Despite the high turnover and turmoil, I work with incredibly smart and dedicated people across the globe who are doing their best with limited resources.

Cons

The RTO Disaster: The most damaging policy change has been the mandatory post-COVID RTO. This policy has fundamentally killed our ability to operate effectively as a global organization. It has created unnecessary friction for distributed teams, reducing our productivity instead of improving it. I strongly suspect, as do many others, that this policy is a cruel way of reducing headcount without having to pay severance packages. ​Cultural Collapse and Leadership Neglect: The internal distress is measurable and undeniable. Our last company check-in (Tell Dell) showed our eNPS score has plummeted from 70 to 32 in just two years. That dip is atrocious and should be a five-alarm fire for any executive team. Instead, leadership and HR have offered no substantive solutions, failing to address employees' deep and legitimate concerns in the slightest. This neglect signals that management does not value the people who actually drive the company's limited success. ​Crippled Competitiveness: The combination of low morale and RTO friction has directly crippled our ability to compete and win in the marketplace. We are currently being held up by a few legacy business areas, but those areas are under immense competitive threat, and we are not organized or motivated to fight effectively.
