Pros

High tech industry allows you to get exposure to a unique business model . The primary focus of online custom orders for computers is something that you don't typically see in the high tech industry.

Cons

Dell is very transactional. The Dell business model is closely tied to a 90 day/Quarterly measurement period so if you are a strategic and big picture thinker you may become frustrated working at Dell. Management is typically promoted from within and the company does not put much emphasis on training/development so the new managers really struggle with understanding the basic skills of a good manager.

Pros

- Good coworkers - Atmosphere is tolerable most of the time

Cons

The pay for ISAE is pathetic, probably close to being the lowest in the industry. I understand we are in sales, but 32k base salary is absurd. Especially considering how great the company is doing, and how much money you make depends entirely on your account set. It has nothing to do with skill, and everything to do with luck.
