Pros

Good company IF you have a good manager.

Cons

First-time, awful, vengeful, petty individual promoted to manager in charge of a team of seasoned professionals. He tried to micro manage the team and rule by fear. He used favoritism to let one or two individuals skate by while holding unfair, and different standards to the other team members. We knew this because the entire team would meet to talk about the manager's behaviors. Worse, our manager's, manager did nothing to correct the issue from multiple complaints from the team. Bad management is systemic. Additionally, my complaint to HR was ignored. The team was disbanded save for the lousy manager who is still at Dell today. HR encouraged but blocked my attempts to move to another role ever though HR claimed they would help.

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.
