Pros

Flexible work/life.

Every employee is golden, because the attrition rate skyrocketed, and they don't hire replacements.

Cons

Pay is not competitive.

Office is empty.

No interesting work. No innovation.

No raises; good luck EVER seeing a promotion.

Corporate propaganda emails read like they were written by a robot, then filtered through 17 layers of HR filtering.

They promise change. It's been more than a year. There is no change.

Took a promising company with a big profit margin that employees loved and "melded" it with a bunch of under-performing companies, then proceeded to cut our budget to the bare bone. That's why there are no raises, no good pay, and no innovation.

Advice to Management

Stop sending salty emails about attrition and bloody well do something about it.

The culture code emails are not inspiring; they are a slap in the face.

Dell doesn't even put up a good facade about caring about people. They just want $$ and to outsource.
