Pros

Dell is a big brand name; it will look good on your resume. The pay could be comparable to industry standards if bargained well. Employee policies are fairly reasonable and sound. It is possible to get a good work-life balance.

Cons

Technology content and depth in work is minimal.

Business process has undue presence and importance in a techie's work.

Hardware gets mixed with software liberally. This is not comfortable for the pure software person.

Advice to Management

Please treat software differently from hardware/manufacturing.

Please don't process this as an excuse for not having a culture.
