Pros

Dell provides flexible work hours Dell provides good benefits

Cons

Dell relies heavily on outsourcing jobs in USA to other countries like India. Both tech and management jobs in USA are outsourced to India. They lay-off US employees and hire H1 visa employees. If you are an employee working in US you will have to get adjusted to a remote Indian manager dictating your career at Dell There is always lots of 'us' and 'them' in any team at Dell and does not use any collaboration mechanisms to function as Global team Agile practices are namesake and not updated with the latest technology stack. Still uses huge monolithic Applications and mainframe. Most of the Managers in India are not qualified for the job and loyalty plays the key role than performance to get promoted. This is a red flag for many aspiring US tech job seekers at Dell. Dell has scaled up its assets to the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, Google with the merger of EMC but not focused like their competitors in terms of driving company to position in future technology marketplace. Dell has mediocre pay

Great people! Team members/coworkers are fantastic

It’s still kind of an old school culture mindset. They move slower and have red tape

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
