Pros
Working at Dell can expose you to leading-edge technologies faster than many other non-technology companies. Also, the company is continually re-inventing itself (sometimes for the worse) which may mean a constant refresh of skills, depending on the department and immediate management.
Cons
The constant churn of re-organization and re-direction of strategy can be very tiresome, and breeds a culture of indecisiveness at times. Also, a person's experience at Dell is highly influenced by his/her direct management - having a poor manager can make one's life quite miserable, even in a successful department.
