      Pros

      Helpful direct peers. Competitive Initial Salary

      Cons

      With Looming EMC merger. A extreme number of Dell Sales employees have been placed on performance improvement plans. Grapevine network predicts possibly higher than 30% of Sales force is now on plan including some in management. New rules where missing a single 3 to 6 month sales quota period automatically forces your manager to place you on plan. No discretion allowed what so ever on managers part. Micro-management of activities Operational processes and tools that make it difficult to complete deals

      Many thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. The purpose of Dell’s performance improvement plans is to support Dell’s high performance meritocracy philosophy, an essential component of Dell’s purpose and values, and instill a culture of consistent performance management globally. Even though it's very disappointing to hear some of the comments, we appreciate all of the feedback we receive and will ensure our leadership team is made aware of it. Thanks again.

      Pros

      At this point? None honestly.

      Cons

      They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
