Pros

Free coffee! That's it, really.

Cons

They're super cheap about everything. Bring your own tissues and pens, they don't supply any. Noisy office, no privacy, no assigned seating, no personal storage. Nowhere to keep a mug, or pads, or a change of shoes. You have to carry everything home every day. Remote work for any reason is very discouraged. If your kid is sick, or you have a dentist appointment, working from home for a day counts against you, so you have to take a sick day. Dell has an official policy that remote workers may not get promoted or change jobs, no exceptions. Do you think people stay out of the office when they're sick? Zero foresight. Executives change seats, and your project gets abandoned for whatever sales emergency or buzz word project of the quarter. Upper management is all yes-men. Executives control everything waterfall style. It's all about executives getting their compensation. Everything barely works. The apps they use, the wifi, the VPN, everything is broken, frustrating, and a waste of time. Everything is cost reduced to the bone. Good college hires leave after a year or two, bad college hires stick around. Need people for a project? They're in an office overseas, they have no experience in your type of product, they're gone a year later. EMC was a great company to work for. They cared. They made great products. Dell bought EMC. Dell does not care.

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.
