Pros

Most employees they hire have good skills. The interview process is quite strict. That is the only benefit.

Cons

Dell destroys most employees' careers by making them lazy. Most employees turn into pseudo-managers of contractors from outsourcing organizations. Close to 50% of people at Dell are contractors. This is to hide the inefficiency of the system.

The majority of the good work is given to contractors. The employees are glorified pseudo-managers handling contractors. The majority of app development on the mobile and web side is handled by contractors. Most employees, or the real hired engineers, are either doing legacy work or serving as peons to their managers. Buttering managers is the first criterion at Dell.

Join if you want to be in cruise mode for the rest of your career, but if you quit your job, the world will not be kind to you.

Advice to Management

Hire some good employees and invest in R&D, for God's sake. How long are you going to run on contractors to show lower costs to your superiors?
