Pros

There are decent benefits and good team members. Great people all around and rarely get stressed. I do good work that makes an impact.

Cons

When I first started, I believed that Dell’s culture was the best. Work/life balance was great. BUT now I realize leadership consistently changes their mind. 0 consistency and have been slowly diminishing Dell culture that made me believe this was the best place to work at. I was even willing to go under the median and an entry level software engineer.

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.
