Pros

Big company, so there's a lot of opportunity for lateral movement. There is also an opportunity to immerse oneself in different Technologies because Dell's technology portfolio is so wide. I was always a remote employee, so that was nice. And before the pandemic, Dell was reasonable and generous with reimbursement for work- related expenses.

Cons

There is much, TOO MUCH churn!! One is constantly in fear of losing one's job. I had to jump to three different groups to avoid being laid off, but alas, I was laid off in January. Ridiculous. Part of it is the never-ending convergence process after the acquisition of EMC. And talk about a clash of cultures! Wow! The other reason is sheer corporate greed. And all companies are responsible for that. Dell touts all its remarkable earnings and increases in revenue YoY, yet they keep engaging in mass layoffs. Greed! They are trying to keep up with other greedy companies thati are maximizing profit margins artificially by reducing labor costs. After the pandemic Dell got unreasonable amd petty about customer-related travel.

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.
