Pros

Overall, Dell is a great company to work for. One of the greatest perks I enjoy is the flexibility to work from home.

Cons

I wouldn't say it's a downside as much as is is frustrating when you have employees who don't take ownership of their own issues.

Pros

flexibility
day hrs of operations

Cons

growth
visibility in the management

Advice to Senior Management

lower level of hierarchy in the divisions. control on head count under a director

Pros

high pay, knowledgeable employees, most employees used to have a "team" effort approach, decent benefits (although the cost to employees has gone up 50%+ in the past 2 years)

Cons

management that's out of touch w/ the employees, morale is extremely low due to constant layoffs (several upper level "professional" jobs are being offshored due to being lower cost regions), employees are the last to get the new technology unless you're a sales person who will be seen by the customer

Pros

Solid company with financial resources to enter into new markets as it is trying to re-position itself beyond hardware. It has acquired several companies and now needs to integrate them together to have a solid product portfolio. The work environment at Dell is supportive of a work life balance and is involved with community activities.

Cons

Working in software development is a challenge at Dell as it is a hardware company and is not software oriented. for software development, it is a slow moving company. Another challenge is that if that Dell is Austin centric and if you do not work in Austin it is more difficult.

Advice to Senior Management

The strategy you have embarked on is great, but you need to execute. I feel there is too much lip service occurring and not enough results. You really need to look at a better strategy on how to be successful with software development.
