Pros

75% of Dell are amazing people… smart, collaborative, compassionate. Truly met some of the coolest people I’ve ever worked with at Dell. Pay is objectively good (though just mediocre if looking purely at tech). Bonuses are very reliable… worst company level multiplier I saw in 4 years was a 0.91 multiplier despite a brutal performance year for the company.

Cons

25% is bad, and sadly a lot of leadership is in that bucket. Lots of childish politics and bureaucracy. Absolutely insane how top-heavy this org is - maybe 10 total people actually make decisions in an org of over 100k. Despite doing interesting work, most things feel like they die in a dark closet no matter how compelling the business case is… a big part of that comes from the very top. Having a 40 year old tech company is an incredible achievement, but “tried and true” smothers innovation in the age of AI. Finally… have to say it, but the RTO thing is worse than the headlines. Dell has invested literally nothing in offices yet expect everyone to be there. None of the pre-pandemic amenities like decent food, fitness facilities, etc were brought back to make the offices inviting places. It’s one thing to ask people to come back to the office - it’s another to ask them to spend 2,000 hours a year in a disgusting and depressing dungeon. IMO it shows just how little Michael and Jeff care about their employees.

Pros

-"They're a big international company". -They pay for healthcare (like any other company) -They offer life insurance (like any other company) -They offer pension plans (like any other company) -Most of the co-workers are really nice and good to work with. They make the place bearable.

Cons

-It's been going downhill rapidly for years now. -Poor communication from top down. -Constant changing and contradictory communication. Which have big impacts on people's personal lives. -Undervalued and overworked but they offer a 'competitive salary'. -Gaslighting you into believe you're not productive by constantly switching goalposts or bringing up new statistics/KPI. -Toxic work culture. Constant bombardment of 'Dell culture code' propaganda despite upper management not following it themselves. -Lack of care of employees well being. -Lack in flexibility of work/life balance. They would rather have you sit in tracking/public transport for 3+ hours a day than let you work from home. Which has already proven to be immensely beneficial productivity and the environment. -Everything you are entitled to by law is packaged as Dell being kind and generous, IE. remote work, work life balance, them unable to deny you time off for medical appointments and such. -Poorly thought through changes or removal in procedures/tools being pushed through and everyone else just has to deal with it. -You will be baited with career opportunities, just take the extra work, we promise you, you will get the promotion eventually. -HR will take forever to deal with harassment issues even though, there's multiple people reporting it.

Pros

The benefits were great. A full week off for Christmas, most holidays observed, and an annual stipend for exercise equipment and activities.

Cons

The leadership team cannot be trusted. They lied about working from home being "here to stay". Then they lied about the hybrid model only being 3 days a week. There are also layoffs literally every month. I used to have nightmares about being laid off during the worst IT market ever.
