Pros

I can honestly say that Dell is a great place to work. There are lots of opportunities to learn and grow as a person and as a professional. Dell is always looking for individuals that can propose better ways to do things, is always trying to improve. Is part of the Dell culture, they are not afraid of changes, in fact Dell believe in changing. Dell also cares a lot about work life balance and it has the goal to become the greenest technology company on the planet. Dell respects they employees and supports diversity, you can be who you really are in here.

Cons

As I said above, Dell is a great place to work. Unfortunately there is no perfect place. I worked on different departments and the Dell experience depends a lot on your direct manager. There are some great managers and other not so great. this can also happen any other place, but I feel is really hard to do something about it here, because your manager approval is needed when you decided you want to work on a different department or business unit. There is a survey where you can evaluate your manager, but it only happens once a year, so, if the manager receives a bad evaluation, he has a whole year to improve and sometimes they just don't try.

Pros

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Cons

The culture completely changed circa 2022. Layoffs happen every month in small batches, so they are not covered in the news with big layoffs, but the total over the last couple of years is 10-20K people per year. Current employees that I still talk to live in constant fear of being laid off. The salary gap between employees in the same function is ridiculous and discriminatory. As a leader, when I'd raise it with HR, it was never addressed. Had a situation where I was hiring an underpaid employee from another team. I wanted to give her a 60% pay increase just to match what her peers on my team made, and I had the budget to do so. HR denied my request to do that raise and only gave her a 20% increase. They didn't want to send the "wrong message" that she was underpaid before (which she was) or that other employees could expect that level of pay raise in internal promotions (regardless of whether they should). They have to come into the office 5 times/week, even though Michael Dell once made fun of CEOs that didn't adopt hybrid/remote work. Just last week, I had a former colleague resign because the stress in the current environment was taking a toll on her mental health. If you have any other option, I'd highly recommend you don't take a job at Dell.
