Pros

The pay is above average and the work atmosphere is good. Work-life effectiveness is a high priority. Getting time off for personal items is not hard. Feedback from managers is pretty good, at least twice a year (formally) and usually it is more frequent. New managers get a good orientation - once you have been there about 90 days. The orientation includes items like managing time off, employee feedback, writing performance plans, etc.

Cons

The pace of work is extreme and the enterprise level tools are limited. You are on your own when it comes to finding solutions. Most of time, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. There is no "management philosophy"

Pros

Hard working env't. VERY intelligent people. Opportunity for large turnaround. Although challenged over the last few years, Dell has a very strong balance sheet and the potential to transition to be a key Enterprise IT provider that can leverage its brand and expand its presence Globally. Many fault Dell for being too US-centric (ie vs IBM or HP). However, this limited channel provides great opportunities abroad. _

Cons

Tough "sink / swim" culture. Somewhat reactive (ie transactional) selling process (although changing) - which can impact culture and expectations. Difficult to gain Executive experience as slowing economy / growth limits upward mobility.

Pros

Career Advancement is encouraged from all levels of the company. Upper management runs a glass house to ensure that all can see the operations of the company. Communication is good.

Cons

Work life balance is somewhat ignored. Pay for lower level jobs not quite up to market standards. Company has reduced benefits with changing it's sales compensation structure. Increased the cost of health insurance, took away employee stock plan. Current market conditions are making it tough on Dell right now. Company recently announced 8000 layoffs globally. Considering it is primarily a commodities company, the current economic situation may not pose well for Dell.
