Business Outlook
Pros
Surrounded by a lot of smart people. Great opportunity to learn a broad amount of business knowledge within one company. Opportunity to rotate between different functions and experience everything from direct to consumer sales to sales dynamics within Global Fortune 50 multi-national companies. Dell heavily focuses on exectuion and accountability which is also a great discipline for any aspiring leader. That experience reinforced the importance of deliviering on the company's promise to our customers without excuses.
Cons
Poor leadership and lack of clear direction. The market has fundamentally shifted and Dell still does not have clear direction for how it will remain competitive.
