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

Benefits are above average, the Round Rock campus is convenient to get to and facilities are good.

Cons

Corporate Business Group job will kill you, unless you are given a great account set with an excellent AE who can bring in the big deals. Especially accounts that call you for every little issue and do not want to place orders online. That won't last though because quotas are unreasonable, they will make sure the next quarter's quota is out of reach.

Pros

Competitive salary, good people who work hard.

Cons

Outstanding individual performance is sometimes overlooked or overshadowed by recognition of those who have exceptionally high attainment. Tools required to do the job need to be fixed. No one trusts attainment tracking. It's too easy for managers to shift attainment or quota around after the fact. The comp plan needs to be simplified...and while management knows that, the last change increased complexity exponentially.
