Dell

Dell is a great company to work for. The pay and benefits package was very competitive, the work culture was pretty good, and the company seemed to care about its employees and their work/life balance.

The bureaucracy of a big company meant that many stakeholders had to give their stamp of approval on every decision, which led to inefficient and slow decision-making.

Dell is trying to change this, but currently most employees still waste several hours a week in meetings that aren't helpful.

Also, within the engineering organization, the average age is likely in the upper 40's to low 50's. As a young professional, this can make it difficult to fit in with your coworkers.
