Pros

Dell is a results driven company. You show results and you will get noticed. Also, Dell's culture is very direct, and thus very transparent. You are accountable for your actions, and that for me, it's very important as a key part of the company's culture.

Cons

Dell is not yet a Global company. It relies too much on the US market for its revenue, and it is now trying to shift that mix to outside of US. Problem is however, that it takes a paradigm, culture shift, that takes time and focus. Most often than not, resources are still being focused, in my opinion, to the US market more than the rest of the world. That needs to be changed quickly.

Too much talent leaving...

Pros

They are a fair company that gives the internal teams real chances to be promoted. They give inside team members a chance to prove themselves and reward hard work.

Cons

Watching the company run itself into the ground due to VERY poor human capital management. Quota setting is out of control. The company appears to have very little insight into what an account can spend. I recall named accounts having a datacenter that amounted to a single rack... Yet the quota was outlandish. They need MUCH better business intelligence and need to listen to the sales team when they describe an accounts spending power.

Pros

Many teams encourage job changes every 12-18 months. At the individual contributor level, it's easy to get experience in a range of groups (e.g., sales, marketing, brand, product management). Pay is, for the market, relatively good. Some managers and groups are excellent.

Cons

1) Re-organizations have become a fact of life, many for no apparent reason or benefit. I've gone through ten in six years. Each time key talent has left the business, and along with it much tribal knowledge and insight. 2) Management quality is very inconsistent -- some groups have committed and professional managers, others have poorly trained and inadequate management. 3) Oddly, corporate culture inside Dell is a hodgepodge, I've worked in five groups and each one had a different view of work/life balance, innovation, customer focus and business acumen. Some had very high standards, others lacked any insight into excellence. 4) It's become increasingly bureaucratic. Tasks which once took days now take weeks. 5) There's no shortage of good ideas, but a huge gap in follow-through. Everyone at Dell can describe initiatives that last a quarter (or less) and then disappear. Projects come and go with no rhyme or reason. Managers fail to complete tasks they're required to do every year. 6) We're all waiting for another reduction in force.
