Pros

Good benefits, like any other big corporation. Two weeks holiday in December and hours of no work, while still getting paid. Way to go, GM!!

Cons

Unethical management from the bosses to HR, except if you are an ex-Dell employee. I would not recommend a young professional start their career here, as it lacks direction in everything, including the training. There is no room for growth, especially if you have a Master's degree. Bad management exists in everything, including IT projects undertaken. Choose wisely; do not be swayed by the 6-month salary review – it is a lie, and promised training is a joke, especially if management does not want you to follow standards.

Advice to Management

Please pay close attention to the innovation center in Austin. It is a place that has a lot of politics and unethical behavior openly displayed, which will inhibit talent growth among young professionals.
