Pros

The pay is decent enough, and what's left of the nerd culture is conducive to gaining friends.

Cons

Layoffs are a thing with this company, especially when they over-hire against the fiat economy. They will fire highly paid competent people and replace them with two or three low paid semi-incompetent college grads. The benefits appear good on the surface, but are expensive, overly complicated, and pandering. The corporate ERP, CRM, and other tools are for the most part extremely bad, devouring worker productivity. The corporate culture is highly political; beholden to stakeholders and failed ESG notions. The workload is nearly always an overload due to hiring/firing practices. The NPS mechanism is broken or corrupt, with the surveys asking leading questions that make it very difficult to give constructive feedback or point out inadequacies. Middle management acts as buffer to protect leadership from worker concerns and tribulations, and make excuses for corporate failings.

Great place to work until today

Pros

5 stars to 1 star in one decision. Dell has had the best remote-friendly setup I've seen so far in the industry over the past 3+ years. The jobs here can be very tedious and mentally draining. However, I returned to work at this company specifically for how well they implemented their remote work system. There has been record growth and productivity during these past several remote years, employee happiness was higher than I ever saw it in the decade prior, but as of today, they're changing that completely and requiring us to go sit in a soul-draining office three days a week. Many employees will be looking for remote positions elsewhere. However, many employees also moved during the pandemic, and they will be exempt from this, whereas the ones who didn't will be punished. A terrible change for so many of us who have loved working at Dell.

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.
