It takes some time to move to the next step.

There are no cons as such it is a good place to work

- Constant nonsensical reorganizations (at least 2 per year) affecting many teams; often large parts of teams split (30-50%) or multiple individuals move to unrelated teams. - Salary increases were very low, even for top performers (1-4%). - A 180-degree change with Return to Office (5 days a week) after public claims that Dell is focused on remote work for the future. Some teams (mostly sales) received this without warning (a change from 3 to 5 days), with the change starting next week. RTO was also applied to members whose colleagues are all in different countries. - The big open office was completely filled after the return to office. It’s hard to work for teams where multiple people are on calls most of the time. - Communication from top management is very dishonest and chaotic. - Multiple years of hiring freeze and constant firing (headcount went from ~133,000 in 2023 to ~108,000 at the start of 2025, and this continues this year). - Morale is at rock bottom. - Large increase in workload. Many people are burning out. - Results from internal employee surveys are ignored. - Promotions are very rare — success and saving the company thousands of dollars is rewarded with more work and maybe a shout-out and coupons worth a few dollars... It’s really not worth being a top performer in this company. - If you don’t believe it, grab some popcorn and read some of the THOUSANDS of comments on thelayoff.com/dell

There's been a significant decrease in R&D spend the past several years so it's difficulty selling as the technology has been lagging. There's constant re-orgs, once sometimes twice a year. One of my co-works is on his 10th manager in 8 years and this is more common than not. There's constant layoffs, most of the people I know feel like they're on 6 months contracts. It's still run like a PC/mfg company and until the old guard, like the COO, are gone it's tough to see the culture changing.

-lack of promotion opportunity -instead of NPI engineer, more toward like a sustaning engineer, as opportunities always reserved to experience engineer

The compensation package could be more competitive.

work from office, workload, toxic management

Salary could be better. Work/life balance should be better

not a lot of opportunities for growth when coming from acquisition
