Pros

You have an opportunity to work on an extensive greenfield product.

There is quite a lot of freedom in what area to work on and what tech to use.

If a meeting with the US team is needed, it’s organized usually around 9 AM in the morning; late meetings are rare.

The work is fully remote.

The project tries to get the best people available on the market.

Internal hirings are pretty common.

Pay is decent.

Local and US management is very friendly.

Cons

Still, most people at the organization think of software as an addition to hardware rather than the other way around, even though Dell himself stresses the need to move to software.

The company doesn’t have the same pay level as market leaders we often refer to in various discussions.

Stock compensation is nonexistent. They have historical reasons for that, but that was 20 years ago.

Advice to Management

Focus on competitive pay to keep talent; the rest will come naturally.
