Pros
Dell was a remote first company for over a decade and paid below market for that reason. After laying off 5% of its working in February 2023, they are making people go back to the office three times a week. The individual contributors on my team are great, smart people who are humble. I work hard to not let my team down.
Cons
The management is toxic and fake. Middle management is full of yes men and women, and they all look out for each other. It's all about who you know and how much brown nosing you do to move up. There is more politics than most companies. They pretend to care for employees but all they care about is CYA. This is evident based who they cut at the last layoff - people who are actually smart and capable and threaten their jobs. There is no innovation strategy and it is viewed as a dinosaur (too old, too slow).
