Pros

Many teams encourage job changes every 12-18 months. At the individual contributor level, it's easy to get experience in a range of groups (e.g., sales, marketing, brand, product management). Pay is, for the market, relatively good. Some managers and groups are excellent.

Cons

1) Re-organizations have become a fact of life, many for no apparent reason or benefit. I've gone through ten in six years. Each time key talent has left the business, and along with it much tribal knowledge and insight. 2) Management quality is very inconsistent -- some groups have committed and professional managers, others have poorly trained and inadequate management. 3) Oddly, corporate culture inside Dell is a hodgepodge, I've worked in five groups and each one had a different view of work/life balance, innovation, customer focus and business acumen. Some had very high standards, others lacked any insight into excellence. 4) It's become increasingly bureaucratic. Tasks which once took days now take weeks. 5) There's no shortage of good ideas, but a huge gap in follow-through. Everyone at Dell can describe initiatives that last a quarter (or less) and then disappear. Projects come and go with no rhyme or reason. Managers fail to complete tasks they're required to do every year. 6) We're all waiting for another reduction in force.

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.
