Dell is great place to work for self-motivated individuals who like to take ownership.

Business Outlook

Pros

It has a great company culture, highy driven by performance and metrics. Very reasonable work-life balance and expectations. Overall benefits are competitive and Dell makes tremendous investments in individual learning and training. Individual contributors are encouraged to take ownership of issues and drive solutions with cross-functional teams as needed.

Cons

Can be repetitive work and feel like working in a silo. Easy to get overlooked by management given fast-paced environment. You feel the effects of industry down cycles and the ocassional promotion and pay freezes and possible layoffs, though compared to my semiconductor work experience, must less stressful and painful cutbacks.

Pros

Fast pacing working environment with challenging issues. Forced to learn how to deal with constant changes and, ambiguities, make quick decisions with limited information, as well as manage multiple things in parallel. You learng to work hard.

Cons

Not much sense in career path development. Management changes constantly, each with different styles, on top of different priorities the company/group has at any time, from cutting head count to building revolutionary products. Constantly receive multiple and contradicting directions from different sources. Politics has been growing very strong. What's important is not what you do but how you present and how you are perceived. Process is for the sake of having a process. People clash on one thing but leave big gap on another thing.

Pros

Resume Builder: The company is generally well respected in the marketplace. I believe that other employers recognize that surviving an excelling at Dell is really hard . When they come across former employees who have been successful, they realize that these employees will bring a winning attitude along with a drive to add value to their organizations. Talented People: Most of the people who work at Dell are top notched and share the passion for doing what is right for the organization and our customers. There is a healthy tension between the members of the cross functional teams that allows for better decision making.

Cons

Burn out: It is really a sweatshop! The company is really a global company that requires individuals to work over nearly every time zone throughout the World. There is really no downtime and one can easily become burned out. Although the company claims to be a global company, there is clearly an "Austin Centric" decision making process instead of letting teams make decisions on their own. Professional Development: The Sr Mgt team sticks to the "mantra" of you own your career without any real structure in place for individuals to successfully navigate through the company. Therefore, one is left with no real connection or loyalty to the organizations they are a part of.
