Dell Financial Services Interview Questions & Reviews in Austin, TX Area

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Round Rock, TX (took a day)

Had the first round on campus. Pretty standard behavioral interview where 2 seniors (I had the CFO himself and a senior finance director) asked you a lot of questions going through your resume. Very interactive but it was awkward for you to try to avoid just talking to one person...

Second/final round in their Austin (Round Rock) HQ. Very unorganized set-up where candidates were placed in "booths" with curtains as separators so you could hear other people talking while you were in your interviews. We weren't given a list of who our interviewers were going to be so it was impossible to prepare beforehand (including what questions to ASK them). Consisted of 3 one-on-one interviews. Types of questions asked depend on the interviewers. But they definitely want you to know their culture (big on the whole "ambiguity" thing meaning without detailed instructions you can be creative and still solve the problem or finish an assignment) and their news/big organizational changes.

Ended with a lunch where a panel was available to answer questions. Very casual. They offered us Mexican foods including tacos and all those messy albeit yum stuff. Then a tour of Austin.

I didn't get the job since they decided that they didn't want to sponsor international candidates last year, or this year, in fact. :(
