Business Outlook
Pros
It has a great company culture, highy driven by performance and metrics. Very reasonable work-life balance and expectations. Overall benefits are competitive and Dell makes tremendous investments in individual learning and training. Individual contributors are encouraged to take ownership of issues and drive solutions with cross-functional teams as needed.
Cons
Can be repetitive work and feel like working in a silo. Easy to get overlooked by management given fast-paced environment. You feel the effects of industry down cycles and the ocassional promotion and pay freezes and possible layoffs, though compared to my semiconductor work experience, must less stressful and painful cutbacks.
