The community of people is great. I've really enjoyed getting to know my close team members and team of stakeholders, also really enjoy all of my partner accounts.
Massive pressure.. long working hours. Flexibility is communicated but leadership aren't actually flexible. High stress, pretty large learning curve. I was with Dell for 6 years.. survived 10+ rounds of layoffs but more and more keep coming. Morale is at an all time LOW because of this, I've never my peers so unmotivated, on edge, & unhappy. Think most stay because the job market is so terrible right now. Raises are non-existent, even after multiple promotions, my pay has only gone up about 5% over 6 years. Always hit all my numbers, always got great feedback in yearly reviews yet it always felt like that was all words with no real reward. There is no real vision for the future, Dell is taking a big gamble on AI but they're behind and I just don't see the overall strategy but maybe I'm just bitter after being cut.
Good for most experienced engineers
Not good for intermediate engineers, No great learning experience.
