Pros

Work from home friendly, decent pay (though others complained about pay)

Cons

Felt like I was going back to 1999. I was recruited quickly to work at Dell and only had one interview. The Dell recruiter talked it up so much that I ended up turning down another job offer for Dell. Huge career mistake. And the environment there was weird -- overstuffed PowerPoint slides, little accessibility, a lot of "that's not my job / not my problem." My division did not collaborate where it mattered. I rarely heard about how we could make things better for end users. It was always: "This is what [internal person] will want although we won't actually talk with them about it or try to make it better." I felt like the skills I came in with were diminishing just by being there, and I needed to leave to learn and grow with modern times somewhere else. I wish I never talked with that recruiter.

Pros

Great people! Team members/coworkers are fantastic

Cons

It’s still kind of an old school culture mindset. They move slower and have red tape

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.
