Pros

Flexible working hours. Good Benefits

Cons

Where to start.. Michael Dell quote "Play Nice but Win" But all VP's and Sr. VP's and Sr. Directors just Play Crap to Survive. Dell just come up with some buzz words every year last few years were Cloud, APEX and than nothing much delivered cause all higher Management are so non-technical that they dont have any vision. This is the company when they need to cut the cost they remove all their technical people first and those who are not licking boots they will be first to let go. In my last 12 years never saw any Sr. Dir or Dir's asked to let go. Most Org's have incompetent resources and they are just there to conduct meetings. Most Senior Architects are there to take credit of Junior Resources. The year 2024 Buzzword is AI and GenerativeAI and all Directors and Sr. Dir's keep taking the same buzz words in every call and after 1-2 year everyone start talking about some other things. No accountability towards customers from higher management, Only Junior resources are dedicated to resolve customer issues. Management priority is just shifted to getting promoted faster and getting big fat salaries and than move to some other group when they feel they can be asked to let go.

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.
