Dell Technologies Employee Reviews & Ratings

Manager's managment skill is not good and may waste your time.

Work is more intense than HP

commute was very hard tho

too slow to use systems

- Limited opportunities for remote workers - Limited sites

Provides very less growth and hikes

Management is not stable, too much org changes Toxic environment Micro-Management No Personal Learning Growth

Late to innovate in comparison to competitors

After pandemic Dell ask employees to go to office 5 days a week, and after frequent workforce reduction not sure how these impact those who still stay there. Same work to fewer people. Not so balanced anymore I guess.

no remote work and office far to the city center

Admin overhead from corporate management

Job cut around the year less hike no promotion no clear vision from top management 5 days work from office

frequent lay offs with no job security

payment can be a little better

When tough times for the company come cost reduction is made by the immediate expenses reduction no matter what could be future expense impact from the consequences. Probably that's right for a big company to hold stock price predictable, however it brings dramatic shock at certain projects/areas where key but more expensive people are laid off or a strategic project is cancelled. With tightening of return-to-office policies it becomes much much harder to apply to remote positions internally, so career growth is limited to locally available positions or via relocation with scarce relocation package. Corporate policies are unnecessarily tight at certain areas that makes it very hard to build up a working environment allowing a person to perform up to max of their potential - including IT stuff, travels and inter-teams communication.

In recent time, policy changes force employees to choose between career advancement and going into office. Employees who were encouraged to work from home and have moved away have been cut off from promotion unless they move back and return to hybrid or in-office work. In addition, recent organizational changes have caused a lot of headaches and ballooning workloads for IT. A shift from specialized teams to larger teams in a jack-of-all-trades format has a lot more issues than upper management seems to think and the employees are stuck with the consequences. It was a great place to work around COVID, but recently too many organizational choices have been made that hinder the "people-first" vibe Dell has always prided itself on. People have been moved away from managers they've spent time developing professional relationships with in arbitrary directions, and non-IT individuals are being put in IT roles and can barely keep up. It's a bit of a mess that leaves the impression that employees are numbers, not people, and there's a greater concern for profits and how to deal with laying off too many people at once.

Nothing really to complain about

Stagnant career growth – Learning opportunities are scarce unless you hustle outside the job. The role itself won't push you forward. Upskilling is just for show – Even if you invest your time and effort to learn new things, the environment won’t let you apply any of it. Growth is blocked by outdated mindsets. Company-first, people-last – Organizational goals are prioritized while employee development is an afterthought. You’re a cog, not a creator. No promotions, no hikes – Recognition comes in words, not raises. Every attempt to ask is met with the same script: “Everyone is waiting for a promotion” or “We truly value your contribution.” Spoiler alert: That value doesn’t show up in your payslip. Token morale boosters – Don’t expect meaningful change. Instead, brace yourself for a thank-you email or an ice cream day and pretend it’s motivation. Good place to rest. Not to grow. Stay too long, and you'll forget what ambition feels like.

No cons to note !

The compensation package could be more competitive.

Small fish in big sea Politics

Leadership is less then desirable

Small salary, bad software processes, no scrum

Very aggressive and challenging environment.

training is ok at best, workplace feels like highschool with rampant gossiping and unprofessionalism, how popular you are heavily influences career trajectory

Sales comp plans are penal, paying $0.65 on the dollar for normal enterprise discounts. No transparency on how they determine quotas, while expecting every customer to have some ridiculous AI spend, which is simply not there. They're forcing tracking of too many things while claiming it will increase your efficiency. The storage business is getting lapped by smaller, more agile and innovative companies. Dell's cloud solutions are not relevant, while also claiming that repatriation from the public cloud is happening en masse. Other solutions are really just reference architectures. Dell is all commodity sales and they know it, otherwise they wouldn't have layed off tons of salespeople to be replaced by AI.

Low Hike Slight work pressure / Target pressure

Time time to much overtime.

Constant restructuring and layoffs can sometimes make it difficult to do your job. Senior level management lacks an understanding of what the day to day challenges of their sales team looks like.

Nothing much in the cons.

However, the bureaucracy and money hungry people at the top of the food chain made working there very stressful. They were chasing performance and numbers from the COVID era and every time those goals weren't reached as a whole company they had mass lay offs. As in routine lay offs every 6-9 months like a clock work laying off roughly 5-10% of their work force each time.

The company is transitioning with consistent sweeping layoffs for the last 3 years it doesn’t make for a stable environment.

The company doesn't know how to pivot to AI. This is the reality. The leadership doesn't have a long term plan. They roll with concepts of plans that get them nowhere. The mid level managers are useless. They don't question anything. They show so much fear it's ridiculous. Because of this, there is no upward movement. You get trapped into position doing the work without the title. Without the title you don't get the raise you deserve. So, for all you young people just starting out... don't bother with Dell. It's a tech trap. The internal culture is horrible. Women and minorities.... forget it. You will be held back!! Idc what MD says publicly. You will be held back. Especially, if you're smart and show intelligence and strength.

1.Work pressure. 2.Deadlines. 3.Very high risk of exhaustion.

None that I can think of.

Lord where do I begin. The return to office thing is just wow. People are commuting between 2 and 3 hours to get to work every day with how bad the traffic is in the central Texas region with all the construction. Definitely a culture of fear. Massive teams and one manager. Coaches sometimes have two or more teams(up to 40 to 50 people for mine) people are really starting to get grumpy. Yes there is a huge initiative to shrink headcount and they are not going to stop until the squeeze like your sucking your stomach in.

China culture is bad if you have you director that doesn’t care about the TW team

the salary not very good

Frequent rounds of redundancies impact morale

Salary hikes are very less compared to market standards

Being remote led to struggle in communicating with other team members

No Cons found while I was working.

5 days a week in office is crazy. Plus no relocation support? Crazy.

Michael Dell only cares about his net worth. He does not care about his employees or their families. Almost no one retires from Dell, because older people are let go. By older, I mean once you hit 40, not 85. I don't know if it's because older people tend to make more, but it's a trend.

Nothing. All are good and perfect.

Long times between promotion. Ok

More than likely ou will get laid off every two or three years.

Stress level is always high due to expectations quarter or quarter.

everything from low salary to stunted growth

Lots of layoffs and more work for less people
