Pros

Decent 401k and medical benefits

Cons

Leadership terrible, misguided, untrustworthy: they back peddled on remote work after consistently saying they support. Forcing all employees to RTO within a month regardless of where nearest office is. Top many older, unknowledgeable managers that don't know anything about engineering. Engineers don't prioritize retaining customers and fixing customer-facing issues. Too much emphasis on catch terms/words to sell something instead of delivering quality for the use case.

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.
