Pros

Freedom to manage work/life balance and lack of micromanagement. However, this positive morphs into a negative: management chooses to simply trust that people will deliver and does not respond to warnings of people-related risks. Anyone raising a risk flag around people issues is viewed negatively, and management loves to shoot the messenger. People know all too well that management will not take definitive action nor hold them accountable, and the result is the massive bureaucratic attitude that has taken over the company. If you want to work for a company where you can hide behind a lot of talk, then you will love working at Dell.

Cons

Constant reorganization creates an environment where people are waiting for the next reorg before they contribute significantly. This results in lack of results. On any given day, you will find yourself in a conversation about the newest reorg rumors. These conversations quickly turn in the direction of "I'm supposed to be working on X, but I'm waiting to see how the upcoming reorg is going to shake out." In other words, the reorgs become the excuse to stop performing for now. And since the reorgs never stop, those who are seeking an excuse to delay (and there are many) have no problems finding the excuse they seek.

Pros

Dell Computer is a large company, and because of that, they have a large number of resources to work with. I worked as a local campus representative, and I found that I was paid well and given plenty of incentives to keep working. Good work also received great recognition from within the company. At one point I was even telephoned by one of the VPs at Dell in Texas. I had three managers while working for Dell, and I have to say that to this day they are still the best managers I've ever worked with. All were motivated sales guys who had a lot to show for their hard work. So all in all, if you land the right spot with the right managers, you will get the resources you need, the incentives you want, and hopefully some great guidance.

Cons

The downsides of working at Dell really depends on your career path. As a local campus rep I did not encounter many downsides, except for some irregular hours. For sales position within Dell they did require you to work in Texas at the ground level for a minimum amount of time. I noticed that this requirement was not met by many sales guys who got in before this "idea" came about. By ground level I mean answering telephones and helping customers or clients. Being asked to work a job that doesn't actually require a college education is a bit of a disappointment.
