Pros

1) Good for entry level and mid level profiles. You get to work on lot of projects running at high pace and learn\develop yourself. You are given freedom to choose your tech stack and work on that project to completion. 2) Global work environment with decent diversity in hiring.

Cons

1) No Dell stocks are offered to every employee. Only 1 person in the entire team is given stock every year, they say only the top performer will receive the stock in the whole team you work, so there is very minimal chance of getting Dell stock. Usually the upper management would absorb most of the stock. So the real bottom level engineers who work hard and develop the product get nothing. 2) Base salary is also low compared to other fortune 500 companies, they are right below the average mark or bell curve.

Pros

- Good coworkers - Atmosphere is tolerable most of the time

Cons

The pay for ISAE is pathetic, probably close to being the lowest in the industry. I understand we are in sales, but 32k base salary is absurd. Especially considering how great the company is doing, and how much money you make depends entirely on your account set. It has nothing to do with skill, and everything to do with luck.
