Pros

Compensation is above local market - depending on hard work, networking, patience, etc. Employees are very hard working and good people Dell supports a strong work/life balance - most work from home at least 2 days a week and they support outside activities Overall benefits are strong, but healthcare is slowly declining - excellent 5% 401k match program

Cons

Career advancement is very dependent on networking, connections versus outright job performance. Advancement can be very difficult also due to the significant amount of reorganizations that occur (minimum of 1 to 2 times per year - regardless of the division that you work Training is just focused on minimizing risk for the company, not for employee advancement Leadership more interested in driving their strategy/agenda and many may not listen to employee's recommendations on improvements to the business

Pros

Great Place to work and advancement.

Cons

New Organization structure during 2025 ended team building by making one company/Division team instead of smaller specialized teams.

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.
