Pros
Dell offeres an environment which is always challenging is a place where you have opportunities to demonstrate your abilities. Like all other companies I've worked for the success of an individual here at Dell is dependent mostly on the individual. It's not a place I would recommend to all of my friends not because I think Dell is a bad place to work at, but rather because Dell requires you to have certain characteristics, one of which is a bit of a tough skin. Much of my happiness here at Dell has been attributed to good teams that I've been fortunate to work on and the friendships which I've had.
Cons
One of the challenges while working at Dell is having to juggle multiple tasks of equal importance. While the company preaches Work Life Balance, it is often difficult for people to truely "turn off the switch" when they go home. There are always 3-4 things on a person's plate at any given amount of time and being able to juggle everything is a daily chore. Communication is so important in getting things done, and too often the people rely on on email versus actually talking to a person to get things done. One other area which affects not only Dell is the ability to offer training, again it's another area which employees are forced to time juggle.
