Pros

If your good at networking, Dell will suit you. It's all about who you know.

Cons

Dell has rolled out performance improvement plans to a large volume of staff with many more to come in the near future. Due to the legacy processes and procedures that are never changed, it's a company that continues to run in the same circles without making progress. Costs are always used to make decisions, no planning goes into ROI with staff. Salaries therefore are not competitive with the market. Experienced individuals are almost non-existent and coaching others in addition to their own roles. Luck or orchestrated results against targets are the only reasons for overachievement.

Great Place to work and advancement.

Cons

New Organization structure during 2025 ended team building by making one company/Division team instead of smaller specialized teams.

Pros

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Cons

The culture completely changed circa 2022. Layoffs happen every month in small batches, so they are not covered in the news with big layoffs, but the total over the last couple of years is 10-20K people per year. Current employees that I still talk to live in constant fear of being laid off. The salary gap between employees in the same function is ridiculous and discriminatory. As a leader, when I'd raise it with HR, it was never addressed. Had a situation where I was hiring an underpaid employee from another team. I wanted to give her a 60% pay increase just to match what her peers on my team made, and I had the budget to do so. HR denied my request to do that raise and only gave her a 20% increase. They didn't want to send the "wrong message" that she was underpaid before (which she was) or that other employees could expect that level of pay raise in internal promotions (regardless of whether they should). They have to come into the office 5 times/week, even though Michael Dell once made fun of CEOs that didn't adopt hybrid/remote work. Just last week, I had a former colleague resign because the stress in the current environment was taking a toll on her mental health. If you have any other option, I'd highly recommend you don't take a job at Dell.
