Vantaggi
There are some really great people at Dell and having a career at Dell can be really rewarding, you get to learn a hell of a lot and it can be a good place to work because you are trusted to manage yourself and your time, it really helps to grow you as a person. You have to work really hard but then the benefits are well worth it.
Svantaggi
There are some excellent managers at Dell however unfortunately they always seem to be the ones who are not favoured because they dare to stand up and say what they really think, personally I admire that way or working because at least you know where you stand and can count on them for the truth of a situation when you really need it. Its shame that those attributes are not valued more within Dell. On the flip side there are some really bad managers who dont listen and are weak / spineless because they dont stand up for the good of their staff when it really counts, "managing upwards" I think is the expression where they are only looking out for themselves.
