Pros

Great learning experience; fast-paced atmosphere; global outlook. It offered me many opportunities for travel and learning about other cultures when working on various projects, which I would not have gotten in other companies. My team members in countries all around the globe were mostly fantastic, motivated, intelligent people who really care about their jobs. Dell also does pay more than most companies; however, you'll spend so much time working, you won't have much time to spend the money! The benefits package is also excellent, with (I think) 4% 401K matching, and good health / vision / dental benefits as well.

Cons

Very long work days--7AM to 10PM is very common (although not all in the office--they do let you take calls at home). Very little chance for advancement if you don't fit into their "mold" and aren't comfortable constantly promoting yourself to execs. Excelling at your job isn't enough to get ahead; you need to be extremely competitive (one might say "cut-throat") and be willing to advance on the backs of others. They had made some efforts at work-life balance a few years ago, but now with many of the formerly US-based jobs going overseas, you'll spend a majority of your time on conference calls, early morning and late night.

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.
