Pros

Once an employee earns full vestment and maxes out at four weeks paid annual vacation, it's hard to find a comparable position elsewhere. Health care package is decent but growing more expensive for less coverage.

Cons

Senior leadership changes frequently, allowing huge, expansive changes in priorities for a global company. Millions of dollars spent on enormous IT projects are wasted when a new directive forces an almost completed program to be "shelved" before it can be fully deployed, in favor of whichever pet program the new leader(s) hold dear. CIO averages 1 - 1 1/2 years before taking their incentives and bailing. Next batter up brings thousands of employees wherever he or she feels the can make a name for themselves. Annual performance reviews are a waste of time and are usually based on "personal goals" written for an entire org by whomever is in charge at the time, but they rarely even apply by the next year's review cycle. Finance leaders project aggressive, often impossible earnings goals, then blame low annual bonuses and stagnant upward mobility on the missed projections that they set but couldn't execute.

Pros

There isn't much to feel good.

Cons

The Major downside is management is taking employees for granted. Even after working 4 years, there has been no salary hike and the discussion with manager ends up with comment that employees are free to resign and look for another job. Very disrespecting for contributing employees, no efforts seen for retaining talents.

Pros

Seriously I was skeptical what it would be like working at such a huge company that I would be lost in the crowd or lack of flexibility, but honestly working for Dell has been one of the greatest decisions I ever made for my family. My entire department (acquisition) is amazing all of the managers are understanding, flexible, and care about the work life balance (they don't just pretend to they really do care). You are constantly being recognized for your accomplishments either by flashy gift cards or maybe just your manager pulling you aside to tell you that you are doing a great job and you matter. I had an issue with one of my fellow co-workers harrassing me so I spoke out to my manager who encouraged me to reach out to HR I was hesitant especially being so new I didn't want to cause any trouble. HR was extremely attentive and handled the situation very seriously and quickly not something you see in such a large company. Things really do move fast here it really is the worlds largest start up.

Cons

I think the only con I could think of would be the insurance plans quickly declining sadly this is a trend nation wide not so much just a company thing, but I really wish they could keep a competitive insurance plan especially employing so many people.
