Pros

1) Good for entry level and mid level profiles. You get to work on lot of projects running at high pace and learn\develop yourself. You are given freedom to choose your tech stack and work on that project to completion. 2) Global work environment with decent diversity in hiring.

Cons

1) No Dell stocks are offered to every employee. Only 1 person in the entire team is given stock every year, they say only the top performer will receive the stock in the whole team you work, so there is very minimal chance of getting Dell stock. Usually the upper management would absorb most of the stock. So the real bottom level engineers who work hard and develop the product get nothing. 2) Base salary is also low compared to other fortune 500 companies, they are right below the average mark or bell curve.

Pros

The people are the best part of this job. I have met so many amazing people in this role. Even some I would consider life long friends. I think the experience gained from this job has also been useful for any sales role you may need for any future endeavors in sales or the tech industry.

Cons

Upper management has made many changes to the compensation and the metrics which has for sure effected employee satisfaction. Turnover rate is insane as there’s a new hire class literally every month. Dell itself is running out of room and they are not making any new teams for the new hire classes which has left more tenured reps in a vulnerable position.
