Pros

The best thing about working in Dell Hell is alot of the employee's you meet are great, unfortunately when it comes to management and HR type employee's Dell seems to hire from a pool of vacuous, mindless, cruel pack animals. Management + HR (in Ireland anyway) are taught to abuse , bully , backstab the employee's they manage and then protect each other, regardless of the truth one manager will never cross another. The mismanagement is incredible, you only have to see how every quarter they chase their tales because metrics are the God in Dell , forget about the customers just manipulate the stats / metrics, so in the end I suppose the best thing about working in DELL is when you finally move on and quit, it's like being reborn or maybe it's what it feels like leaving prison after a long tortureous stay. This is what many have said after leaving and I can confirm it, I've left the abusive work envirment that is Dell and have a new job that has no bullying, manipulating managers or faked targets and metrics, life is good.

Cons

The constant barrage of metrics littered with all the awful acronyms they come up with like OTFTF ( On time first time fix) etc, they have an acronym for everything so as to sound really important. I also believe that if you stay in DELL too long you become institutionalised like a prison who's been incarcerated for 20 years , you cant adjust to living on the outside so if you spend too much time in DELL you bring all the bull***t with you to another job and you find other jobs so much more pleasureable , and you wonder why you didn't leave earlier

Pros

Talented people to learn from, problem is that most of the really talented people are leaving. Latest technologies and versions to learn and keep mentally challenged.

Cons

Morale is almost non-existent now due to protracted delays in layoffs. Dell more interested in pandering to stock analysts at the expense of customers and employees. No R&D encouraged, Dell continues to fall behind the rest as a result. Company bogged down in bureacracy leading to too many middle managers and paper-pushers and not enough actual real workers. Globalisation has added to confusion and customers report having to talk to 3-4 people at an average of 1 hour on the phone before they can even explain to a support person what their problem is. Management has become so removed from the real world workings of Dell they have lost sight of the customer, who should be No 1 priority. Dell has expectations that one should work nights, weekends and bank holidays with no overtime or time back. Most talented people burn out, others settle into paper-pusher 'non value added' jobs.

Pros

Pay and benefits you can change shift at short notice.

Cons

Some managers think their so important they wont even say hello. Very little praise when you are doing your job weel but as soon as you make the smallest mistake they are down on like a ton of bricks. Four weeks ago they told told 200 people they were losing there jobs some had only been there for a shortime and had moved from good jobs in other companies, you also have people who have there 10 or mor years who will be out of work by the end of June.
