Pros

Remote work and solid health care benefits.

Cons

While Dell frequently emphasizes its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the reality is that Black employees in technical roles are often excluded and marginalized. Black women are largely relegated to administrative, sales, and DEI roles, with few opportunities to advance in technical fields. Furthermore, the burden of DEI work should not fall solely on Black employees in non-DEI roles. The culture at Dell often made it difficult for Black employees in technical roles to feel like valued members of the team. Even when we spoke up about our concerns, we were met with hostility and retaliation. Ultimately, the toxic and exclusionary environment at Dell made it impossible for me to feel like I was making a meaningful contribution to the organization. I cannot recommend it as a supportive or inclusive place for Black women software engineers, and until the company takes concrete steps to address its culture of discrimination and harassment and prioritize the well-being of all employees, I urge technical job seekers to look elsewhere for opportunities.

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.
