Great for some, little advancement for others

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great holiday vacation schedule getting Christmas to New Years off. In general the people are intelligent and great to work with.

Cons

There are few opportunities to advance from an individual contributor to being a manager, many promises are made but very seldom did I see it actually happen.

Commission plain "ain't what it used to be"

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote home office, name recognition in marketplace; strong products

Cons

long hours; unrealistic quotas; if you make your quota one semester, you'll be penalized the next by a huge bump; payment plan includes recoverable draw; internal resources have been significantly cut back. You're asked to do more with less.

OK place to gain experience, but don't plan on making Dell a final career destination.

Senior marketing consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a wide range of jobs available at Dell and most managers provide employees with the flexibility to try new things. Moving up can be difficult but Dell is a pretty good place to gain broad experience. Most employees stay at Dell (in spite of the downsides) because Austin is a great city.

Cons

Incompetent and unethical senior management and board of directors. Michael's last name is on the building and he runs the company like a dictatorship. He tells his "leaders" what to do, they tell their managers what to do, and so on. There is zero tolerance for anyone to question or challenge anything Michael wants to do. See the long list of departed executives who have tried to suggest improving the company. This culture impacts the entire company -- if you are not a "yes man" you will be miserable working at Dell. I've never met an employee who wants to stay at Dell for the long run.
