Pros

At-market compensation, reasonably good benefits, globally distributed, always trying to change and sometimes succeeding at it. A large company that follows the rules one would expect a large company to follow.

Cons

Shortsighted. Doesn't stick with a strategy if it doesn't deliver a profit after two years. Layoffs are common place. Not really a technology company - they are a marketing and distribution company that specializes in PCs. Thinks it is more important in the tech world than it really is. Pending EMC merger has everything up in the air.

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.
