Pros

Ability to work from home.

Cons

If you want a company that will work you to death, gives zero appreciation, small raises, and treat you terribly, this is the place for you. Virtustream is all over the place, they have way too much management and throw out senior director to anyone as long as they are completely incompetent and don't understand the product or operations at all. Public sector is an absolute train wreck and nightmare, upper management gives it no attention and the testing for the products that will run there are practically zero. The business tries to focus its talent and time into things that customers aren't asking for, they don't listen to you, and operations is horrendously anemic. Another main issue is that the company basically encourages bad employees, you work like crazy and another employee does almost nothing - good work team, carry on. You work an entire weekend, up till 4 am on Saturday, good job, pat on the back. 80 hours of work in a week might occasionally get you a $100 "reward" for you efforts, enjoy your $2 an hour of overtime. The company basically treats its employees terribly, my family has had to have an intervention with me. A previous coworker I worked with had a similar experience and was encouraged to quit for her health from being so stressed and exhausted.

Pros

Huge company with opportunities to grow and work with other teams

Cons

The multiple time zones and countries meant a lot of night or early morning calls. Also layoffs were and are pretty regular.

Pros

Looks good on a resume. Benefits.

Cons

Within two years of working for Dell Small Business, they've cut our commission rate at least five times, cut our base salary by over $10,000, had all sellers RTO, and blocked any moves within the company outside of SMB, all while increasing KPIs. Meaning more work and less incentive. The managers have almost no pull and are used as messengers to deliver bad news every couple of months. I would never, in good faith, recommend that any of my friends or family work in this department.
