Pros

You do get paid. Work from home.

Cons

Seniority and experience means nothing here anymore as it is now owned and operated by India. Your past achievements at the company mean nothing to anyone and you WILL be treated like a child. If you like working 60-90 hours a week then this is the place for you. The 10, 13, 18 years of service and the millions you’ve personally saved with your direct efforts alone means nothing to anyone and you should not expect recognition or monetary compensation as a result. Your manager is 99% likely to be in India now and there will be little to no communication with that person. Your Indian “co-workers” (oxymoron) will: a. Take credit for your work. b. Bad mouth and make false claims against you to management throughout the year to ensure their promotion/raise over you. c. Use titles they haven’t earned like “senior” and “team lead”. d. Be ignorant of basic software concepts and incapable of delegating work appropriately. e. Eventually take your job through offshoring. If you enjoy back handed comments, people stabbing you in the face and in the back at the same time, then this is the place for you. If you enjoy devoting yourself for 13+ years to a company only to have them slap you in the face with false claims so that they can legally fire you and move your job to India then this is the place for you. To top off the experience you’re guaranteed to be fired or downsized by an Indian you’ve never met working in the US under HR.

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.
