Pros

Interesting technology being developed. Fast paced. People are generally there to win and are willing to bend the rules to get tasks completed for the benefit of the project. Engineers are generally high caliber.

Cons

Downsizing limits ability for growth. Once pigeonholed it is hard to move to another position. Managers do not help with career growth as I have experienced at other companies, since there is more focus on the project than on the individuals. Stock price and market share are good indicators of the executive team's capabilities - they are unable to improve their opex and opt for cutting workers (or moving work to India/Taiwan/China) instead of improving product and truly competing. Would not recommend working there as the glory days at Dell are over - their competitors have learned how to mimic Dell's old price advantage of parts logistics, and Dell does not know how to respond. Was glad I left and moved to another more vibrant company.

Pros

the people on your team, lots of free food and snacks. sadly thats it

Cons

too many! ive done sales for a long time and i dont remember being in a place thats managed at this poor of a level. this is something you would expect from a start up company not fortune 50. your pay will constantly change and not for the better. they also do a lot of shady stuff with that. un-attainable quota for your account set that will end up putting you in a PIP situation which is basically where you will be let go cause you wont be able to finish it within 30 days. micromanaging using KPI's that make no sense so everyone's just faking them. top to bottom SMB is horrible and just not worth your time and effort. find another company thats more stable so you dont burn your time here and then just leave. everyone who got promoted to MB is either looking for another job, miserable or was let go.
