? Negotiation needs as much preparation as the job interview in itself.
? Negotiation scorecard/Planning document is essential to think on the fly during talks with HR
? Always get the Offer in writing even if the HR verbally assures the job.
? Avoid talking about numbers early On and talk more about the job and the responsibilities
? Building a rapport with the Hiring Manager and the HR helps in the negotiation process
? There needs to be a checkpoint when the negotiation needs to stop lest it being considered aggressive
? Understanding the exact job position considered during interview and finally offered is critical
? Unless asked, HR won’t offer perks such as relocation, Sign-on bonus
? Base salary decides what level one would end up after 4 or 5 years. It needs to be negotiated clearly.

Hiring process is spread across different rounds of interviews that are conducted by the Group that you will be joining in followed by HR and then the final round will be a Video conferencing round if you are a outstation candidate.

In my case there were a total of 7 rounds of interview followed by a video conferencing round. Stick to your basics and your previous company's experiene and it is easy to get through.

Very structured and professional. They were friendly and very intelligent. They ask good questions around my previous employers including why I left each. They also wanted to know why I wanted to work for Dell. During my day I met with five people for an hour each. The ranged in disciplines. I was prepared to discuss engineering, process, and marketing. I recommend the same for anyone else.

The first contact was a phone screen by an internal recuriter. After passing the phone screen, I was scheduled for a series of interviews that lasted 4 hours. Dell parades in one manager after another for about 3 -4 hours. You are completely exhausted by the end of the day.

The company uses behavior questions i.e. desribe a time when you worked with a dificult co-worker and how you resolved the issue. There is no faking the answers, so, go in prepared with lots of examples of your prior work - especially the challenges.
