Pros

Went through a phase where it stepped out of its legacy process and incubated or acquired some data storage software for modern environments. Lot of success during that phase as well as some innovation. Was able to attract and retain some top notch engineers during this phase. If you are good, you got to work on some interesting distributed systems problems. Unfortunately this phase ended with Dell merger.

Cons

After Dell, the team I was on, was essentially wrecked. Hiring freeze and no attempt to retain best talent meant all good engineers left. Tried to make up by aggressive hiring in cheaper countries but those teams couldn't cope and project quality took a deep dive. No development of new features - all the time spend on trouble shooting. Obsessed with sales but lost customer goodwill due to declining product quality.

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.
