Pros

The casual work environment was very nice and an unadvertised benefit in my opinion. There seemed to be quite a bit of potential for career advancement and/or movement within the company...if they thought you were a risk to leave and were what the performance process deemed a "high valued" or "exceptional" employee.

Cons

If you are within IT or IT Operations there is zero work life balance, where you will easily work 16+ hours each day (office hours, on-call, weekends, etc.). Constant re-organization was a head ache at times, because you may end up reporting to three different managers in one years time. And of course each manager had their own agenda's on what should be done and how it should be done. And of course Dell has absolutely no problem laying employees off (did not happen to me) if it means one additional dollar saved. And there seems to be no real reason for who they lay off at times. There have been some really good employees laid off simply because they made more than others on their team.

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.
