Pros

Dell pays very well, no question about it. The people you work with tend to be very fun and dynamic and the company goes out of its way to throw money around for its employees. Their promotion system is exclusively merit-based.

Cons

Dell makes it almost impossible to balance work and the rest of your life. Mandatory 50 to 70-hour work weeks are common there. This does not make for happy employees.

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.
