Pros

1) Good for entry level and mid level profiles. You get to work on lot of projects running at high pace and learn\develop yourself. You are given freedom to choose your tech stack and work on that project to completion. 2) Global work environment with decent diversity in hiring.

Cons

1) No Dell stocks are offered to every employee. Only 1 person in the entire team is given stock every year, they say only the top performer will receive the stock in the whole team you work, so there is very minimal chance of getting Dell stock. Usually the upper management would absorb most of the stock. So the real bottom level engineers who work hard and develop the product get nothing. 2) Base salary is also low compared to other fortune 500 companies, they are right below the average mark or bell curve.

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.
