Pros

Dell pay more than others.

Cons

No work life balance: they make you work a lot in and outside the company. Legacy apps: a lot of old stuff running. Hard times to shut down old systems. Recognition: no recognition for deliverables/milestones. Low (or no) budget: no money for hardware refresh. No joke. Bureaucracy: a bunch of approvals for changing a piece of code that people don't even know what is it for. Lack of focus on managers: speed up your promotion if you don't work with your team. Promotion: yes if you have good contacts even you work.

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.
