Business Outlook
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.
