Pros

A very technologically advanced company to work for with many leading edge tools available. You have the ability to relocate and travel globally, if your position allows for it. Good employee discounts. Good & competitive benefit package. Once a year has a charitable donation matching program.

Cons

Work/life balance is oft talked about but rarely realized. Management will take all that you can give and then some. The unsaid expectation at the non-management but senior level is that you will be working 60-70+ hours per week although it's not in your contract and never stated, it's just expected. You will never get that time back nor will you be compensated for it.

Pros

Huge company with opportunities to grow and work with other teams

Cons

The multiple time zones and countries meant a lot of night or early morning calls. Also layoffs were and are pretty regular.

Pros

Looks good on a resume. Benefits.

Cons

Within two years of working for Dell Small Business, they've cut our commission rate at least five times, cut our base salary by over $10,000, had all sellers RTO, and blocked any moves within the company outside of SMB, all while increasing KPIs. Meaning more work and less incentive. The managers have almost no pull and are used as messengers to deliver bad news every couple of months. I would never, in good faith, recommend that any of my friends or family work in this department.
