Pros

High tech industry allows you to get exposure to a unique business model . The primary focus of online custom orders for computers is something that you don't typically see in the high tech industry.

Cons

Dell is very transactional. The Dell business model is closely tied to a 90 day/Quarterly measurement period so if you are a strategic and big picture thinker you may become frustrated working at Dell. Management is typically promoted from within and the company does not put much emphasis on training/development so the new managers really struggle with understanding the basic skills of a good manager.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
