Pros

Crazy Employee Benefits like Public Holidays pay, Leaves, Shift Allowances. Inspire Awards Yearly Bonus always above 100%

Cons

This should be your place, only if you want some regular income without growth. Freshers' careers will be destroyed if you don't make a move within a year or 2. The management is literally running a 300+ employee startup I must say. False promises. Never seen a company where 30+ freshers join every 2 months once in the name of team expansion. Hiring happens aggressively, employee attrition is very common, tells about how employees are taken care of. Bad domain for a fresher to start IT career. What they do in this business is no way close to PreSales. This is a support role where you have to support Systems Engineers based out of America/APJ/EMEA. No customer-facing experience given. Good salary compared to other Indian service based companies. This is not a right place for employees who want to grow technically. 8hrs per day making PPT and presenting it to somebody else who doesnt even care, this is the reality of the work. Changing domains, switching careers becomes impossible if you spend 2+ years here as a fresher. As a 3years experienced professional who served this BU, my sincere suggestion is to not join this role. Better to accept a 10k salaried technical (real technical) job than this 50k fake semi-technical role. You will go nowhere. Night Shift role. This BU is bringing a bad name to the DELL brand. I was promoted from Associate Sales Engineer Analyst to Sales Engineer Analyst. But I still do not recommend this role to anybody. There are no opportunities outside in the industry for this role. YOU WILL STRUGGLE FOR REAL. Here is how this could make a difference, 1) Freshers joining a start-up for 10k as an Engineer, switch after 2years, paid 6-8L, work for 2more years and switch again, paid 12-15L having a total of 3 to 4 years experience. (You would be in par with technical standards of the industry). 2) Freshers joining Associate Sales Engineer Analyst role for 5 to 6L upfront, struggle later for not selecting a technical role and crib over it for 2years or more. Then somehow get promoted and reach the 8-9LPA mark. After that, you will witness your IT career Downfall, sad but true. (You will not be on par with the outside industry, everything that you would have learnt would be Dell specific) ISILON, Power family, DPS products etc etc etc diagrams, ppt, quotes will take you nowhere. A Pre-University guy who gets 7days of training/KT can finish all the works done by the so called "RSEs".

Pros

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Cons

The culture completely changed circa 2022. Layoffs happen every month in small batches, so they are not covered in the news with big layoffs, but the total over the last couple of years is 10-20K people per year. Current employees that I still talk to live in constant fear of being laid off. The salary gap between employees in the same function is ridiculous and discriminatory. As a leader, when I'd raise it with HR, it was never addressed. Had a situation where I was hiring an underpaid employee from another team. I wanted to give her a 60% pay increase just to match what her peers on my team made, and I had the budget to do so. HR denied my request to do that raise and only gave her a 20% increase. They didn't want to send the "wrong message" that she was underpaid before (which she was) or that other employees could expect that level of pay raise in internal promotions (regardless of whether they should). They have to come into the office 5 times/week, even though Michael Dell once made fun of CEOs that didn't adopt hybrid/remote work. Just last week, I had a former colleague resign because the stress in the current environment was taking a toll on her mental health. If you have any other option, I'd highly recommend you don't take a job at Dell.
