Pros

Pay when the market is doing well. There are so many divisions anyone can find something they enjoy and transfer until they do. There is a lot of time off offered - if your manager doesn't make you feel guilty about it.

Cons

It's a very political environment - not much of the meritocracy they claim. They are currently slashing pay to decrease opex and most everyone (at least in sales) is looking elsewhere. The customer service is horrible and that seems to be okay with mgmt. Morale is very low at this point. Not the company it was 5 years ago.

Pros

Young culture. Cutting edge. People are proud to work there. Many opportunities to rotate within the finance department.

Cons

It's a grind. Can be long hours. I did not personally experience this, but I know others that do. Accomplishments are sometimes forgotten. Very competitive.

Pros

Until a few years ago, you did get a decent amount of cash when you rolled up salary, bonus, and stock grants/options. You do get to work with technology, and the rate of technology adoption is not too slow in certain areas of the firm, so in terms of software engineering roles, you can work with fairly relevant technology and keep abreast of tool/technique developments.

Cons

Disfunctional work environment. They have a set of proposed conduct standards which are flagrantly dismissed and unobserved. The capability of lower and middle management is not as strong as it needs to be. A lack of developed management skills, plus an environment of advancement/recognition facilitated by the failures of others, results in a work environment for individual contributors that is uncertain, chaotic, and unpredictable. For managers, the environment makes success difficult in that managers below the Director level do not have much ownership of responsibility. Even when managers want to do something to make things better, they are not equipped or empowered to make it happen. In addition, management grooming and development activities at Dell are insufficient - you may find in your area that managers often come from 2 backgrounds: personal friends/associates of the area Director, or top performing individual contributors promoted into management as a "career advancement" (even thought they have no desire to manage people).
