Pros

Work-life balance. Able to work from home in the morning or remotely if necessary as long as you get your work done. That said, if you are in Consumer Group - expect to be online up to 1 am as being logged in continuously is part of the culture. Dell still has a start-up culture which makes it fun, however, it also makes it inefficient. Things change on a dime so it makes it easy to react to market pressures. Always in meetings, always challenged - never sit at your desk for too long. Must be omnipotent about entire processes of company. Most people are fun at heart.

Cons

People are extremely competitive and sometimes backstabbers hiding information. In meetings all day - do your work after 5 pm, or during meetings on laptop. Multi-tasking culture. Job responsibilities not well-defined - everyone owns everything, you own nothing specifically or have to fight to keep what you own yours. People think your job is their business. No boundaries. Must be a star in meetings - sometimes that means at the expense at others. If you are not a star - and are not extremely verbal - even if you have nothing to say - say something - otherwise you are moving out. Very competitive, sometimes catty.

Pros

There are many great opportunities to move up in the ranks throughout Dell. And the pay is great. Training is not your normal regular training were you go into a room listen to 10 boring presentations then go home and do it again the next day. Training is actually fun. They did many fun activities through out the day. Some activities had to do with what we learned that day and some where just to make sure we were awake.

Cons

THe only downside that there might be is a lot of overtime, but really i don't consider it a real downside because its more money.

Pros

The pay is pretty good. There are very smart and driven people at Dell, you rarely run into incompetence.

Cons

You are a commodity, nothing more. If you let them they will work you to death, literally. Metrics are used and abused to a fault in making decisions. Not everything can be measured. I spend at least half my working time reporting on what I do to a various other areas of Dell. This was supposed to be reduced but actually got worse because they came up with more metrics to measure how we waste our time. This is most likely because 80% of my management has no experience in the field they manage and rely on "dashboards" of metrics, most of which are measured in a way to look good, not be an accurate view of the situation.
