Pros

There is the potential for exposure to a variety of technologies. Projects go very quickly so the core skills revolve more around program management, augmented by testing/troubleshooting the specific technology in use.

Cons

There is no real design done; this is done by the OEM/ODM. The net is that light touch means there is very little control over the design of the product.

Pros

The benefits are good overall. PTO is generous and the culture is pretty good depending on your department. Dell has a lot of vendors it partners with that offer a lot of incentives. They put on many events which can break up the monotony after returning to office 5 days a week.

Cons

Commission payouts have significantly decreased since I started. They seem to change the commission structure every quarter which is frustrating. Quotas are inflated due to price increases across the industry. They continue to implement new KPIs which must be met in order to get promoted. So you're essentially having to constantly do more work for less pay.
