Pros

Team members are fun, work from home life balance is good, good benefits when not taken away during covid

Cons

Dell is all about who you know as far as moving up. Education has no merit here. You can be over qualified for a position and they still won't allow you to apply more than one step above because you have to "climb the ladder." People with no degrees will make much, much more money than you. Micromanagement is a big thing in many departments. Some senior level people are on very big power trips. Benefits were taken in in 2020 from employees yet the business made a ton of money and used it to fund the vaccines. Employees are scared to speak the truth on Tell Dell in case of retaliation by mgmt. Tools are always broken and then why wonder why customers aren't happy. Many times job req's are open only because HR says they have to yet the position is already waiting for someone they have in mind. So you waste your time interviewing and applying. You won't find many females in higher positions. Current new highers make more money than some of us who have been here for years yet they aren't raising anyone's salaries.

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.
