Pros

The people are in general very nice and want to do a good job.

Cons

The senior management have lost the plot and do not seem to understand the consequences of all this moving functions to low cost locations and globalisation. Doing a good job is highly dependent on teamwork and its very hard to form a team with a mailbox. Process is great but you also need people who can think their way through a problem and unfortunately most of the people behing these can't or won't do that. If you want to ensure the best for your customer you have to check everyone's work and sometimes try and do it yourself to get the result.

Pros

The best reason to work for Dell is the amount of freedoms provided to the employees. The work conditions are more relaxed then others. It used to have a positive culture (not the case anymore). It is a fast moving company with little focus on the micro management and more on helping the employees feel empowered. Everything within the company is transparent, you can see the position of anyone you talk to in an instant. The culture is also relaxed, the managers look like the employees and you cannot tell the difference. An equal workplace that does not focus on status.

Cons

company changes quickly, profit drives the business, easily outsourced and pro-outsourcing.

Pros

To be a part of company which is one of biggest producers of personal computers in the world. Good & truly international community.

Cons

Lask of proper proper coordination within IT management, lack of competence & proper assessment when buying IT solutions. Also, project management is simply horrible. PM very often is totally unavare what knowledge skills developers are possessing, and even what they're busy with at the moment ! Therefore timeline estimate often is not accessed propely, leading either to time waste and boredom within developers or to rush work. Both impact greatly a quality & stability of the code. So instead of exchanging tons of useles e-mail, PM should spend much more time "in the field".
