Pros

Good pay, flexible work timings, work from home. Encouraged to take leave. Good brand value if you leave from here. Nobody cares if you really work or not, till you give the impression to your manager that you are working. :)

Cons

Poor higher management. It's worst after Dell became private, with lots of attrition and lots of layoffs. The company is totally unstable now; you never know when you'll be fired. Product roadmaps change very frequently. Round Rock is the powerhouse; decision-making and visibility are only present if you are at Round Rock, TX. There's no recognition for good workers outside Round Rock. Teams lack control; people work as they wish. This means if you want to work, you can; otherwise, you can just speak and show off in front of higher management.

If you are a Microsoft technology guy, then you can survive here and move anywhere across Dell. Otherwise, it's tough for you to survive with your core skills. They want to write Android/iOS apps with C# .NET. LOL.

Advice to Management

Take some courage and make some bold decisions. Realize that there is some world outside Round Rock.
