Pros

Dell is a big brand name; will look good on your resume The pay could be comparable to industry standards if bargained well Employee policies are fairly reasonable and sound Possible to get a good work life balance

Cons

Technology content and depth in work is minimal Business process has undue presence and importance in a techie's work! Hardware gets mixed with software liberally: not comfortable for the pure software person

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.
