Pros

I you are lucky you may have an OK work-life balance.

Cons

Dell outsources more than 80% of the engineering jobs, mostly to India. US engineers will have meetings from 6AM to 8PM. There are so many bugs to fix, and many US engineers are stuck doing that. There are layoffs throughout the year. The compensation is on the lower end. Ridiculously bureaucratic processes. They adopted SCRUM but still have the same waterfall process,

Pros

Huge company with opportunities to grow and work with other teams

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.
