Need clear vision and leadership.

Pros

Ability to move laterally into new fields and have the opportunity to follow new career paths. Employees can move into just about any area without previous experience so long as they prove themselves to be capable and high performers. This is great to explore new areas, develop skills, and fill gaps but does provide very little depth of experience throughout the organization.

Cons

Managing the organization is extremely difficult. Little opportunity for advancement and rewards not tied to merit. There is an extreme lack of long term planning and strategy.

Pros

Competence of the people around you, opportunity for growth if you take ownership of your career, fast paced atmosphere

Cons

Lack of committment by senior leadership (CEO, CxO) to expand into new areas of opportunity outside of laptops and desktops (e.g. Services, Enterprise Sales force), mid level managers spending too much time/energy on administrative vs leading and strategic plans; unwillingness to better understand customer needs

Pros

Lively environment, dynamic, lots to do. Compensation is fair for the current environment, although for the last few years bonuses have not been awarded. Regular Rank and File (grunts) are very commited to making Dell a success.

Cons

Management does not truly know how to be successful for the future. Everyone is too afraid of Michael Dell plus his vision is dated. Managers in general seem to take on a personna of "What would Michael do" but they are not mind readers and seem to overly try to control the their departments. This can be very frustrating , it seems you can never be correct on your own and that you are chasing this moving target. The "What would Michael do" managers all have different perceptions of what Michael may want. Also, managers are trying to assure that they don't get downsized andfeel they need to show how indispensable their inputs are to the company. The results are crippling.
