Pros

Competitive environment where you can try to stop the Dell train wreck from happening in any department you choose. Great sign-on bonuses for executives and lucrative packages for those involuntarily separated.

Cons

Since the rating system is gone, the process of evaluation is more subjective than ever. The strategy is to cut OPEX and CAPEX in hopes of profitability. The end-goal is to pay off Michael's debts, cut loose from Silver Lake, and then take the company public again. Turning over to a new CEO at that time, Michael hopes to retire and do book tours, consult on Fox News, etc.

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.
