Pros

Benefits are decent, paid holidays.

Cons

This company is a shell of what it used to be. Michael Dell has created a culture of fear, uncertainty, and disloyalty. Their motto is "company, then team, then individual" and it certainly shows. If you think that the layoffs won't reach you, you're wrong. They come for everyone, eventually. Middle management has been stripped and now 20+ people are reporting to all managers, even the most senior c-suite, with no room for growth or career progression for individual contributors. Executives are so disassociated from reality and have no idea what employees go through (nor do they care). Benefits are going downhill and no one is allowed to bring up diversity and inclusion. But the worst part is their obsession with becoming "leaner" and operating like an AI-native company. What a laugh - a dinosaur behemoth of a company that is trying to level the playing field with the smartest and most creative minds to exist today; plugging holes and trying to unravel decades of bad processes, outdated tools and bad leadership. They will never truly compete as an AI company, because they can't offer anything unique. My best guess is that Michael strips the company down and sells in the next few years, sailing off into the sunset with his billions of dollars and good friend, Donald Trump. If you are contemplating working there, I hope this finds you. If you're a current employee, get out now. There is life after Dell. No one deserves to be treated that way.

Pros

The benefits are good overall. PTO is generous and the culture is pretty good depending on your department. Dell has a lot of vendors it partners with that offer a lot of incentives. They put on many events which can break up the monotony after returning to office 5 days a week.

Cons

Commission payouts have significantly decreased since I started. They seem to change the commission structure every quarter which is frustrating. Quotas are inflated due to price increases across the industry. They continue to implement new KPIs which must be met in order to get promoted. So you're essentially having to constantly do more work for less pay.
