Dell

Pay is competitive. Bonus payment record is good.

I currently work for a terrible manager who undermines his team, fails to hold problem engineers accountable, and raises the stress level unnecessarily. Some Dell managers are better, but the culture encourages turf-battlers over good managers. It appears that priority one is repaying the LBO firm that took Dell private, at the expense of flogging as much as possible out of engineering with no new hires and no backfill after RIFs. The saying around the office is "Cisco products on a Wal-Mart budget."

Engineering / product development morale is very low, and it does not appear to be an organizational priority to do even the easy stuff to address it. Responding to legitimate concerns with "do you want to be here?" is a good way to guarantee that legitimate concerns will no longer be brought to your attention.
