GOPO is where a career at Dell goes to die. You're surrounded by career people (people who have been in their same position for sometimes over 20 years) who are loyal to the bone to a company that most likely plans to lay them off in the next couple of years. Literally, a lot of senior people, especially individual contributors, joke about how they're probably next on the chopping block yet they don't mind being sitting ducks. Management does not encourage growth for young, entry-level employees. In fact, management will block the move so your only way to get out is to apply internally (behind your manager's back) once you've reached the ~1-2yr mark or to leave. In general, GOPO as an organization is bloated and is a hodgepodge of teams made to solve problems that were created by other teasms and will never get fixed. There are people who have spent their entire careers there (beginning to retirement) on these issues and never saw them resolved/completed. There's a joke for those who have left Dell that it makes the best first and third job—first job you quit: get some outside experience, then come back later and have climbed the ladder 10x faster than your GOPO loyalist counterparts who are still waiting for their once-in-a-decade promotions. Just look at who works at Dell in GOPO and tell me of anyone (who hasn't left the org or the company) that has received a promotion within a reasonable amount of time for their respective role. If you took a job at Dell within GOPO to get something on the resume and are staying for job security reasons during these turbulent economic times, I salute you soldier! There's a reason not many young people stay!!! Be warned, keep that resume up to date, and constantly look for opportunities within and without!

Ever since COVID the company culture has changed drastically. Everything is a little more cut throat. Dell has all the benefits and outdated amenities of working for a Government organization, with the job security and culture of a tech company

- Limited opportunities for growth for senior+ - Compensation such as RSUs are hard to get

High pressure environment once in a while but not much

I think so far so good
