Advice to Senior Management

Consider the productivity gain you could get by treating your employee with respect and by giving them decent workconditions.

Pros

Work from Home
Great work/life balance
Tons of opportunity to grow
Company is heading in the right direction. Management seems to know what they are doing with all the recent acquisitions.

Cons

Company is so big, that sometimes is hard to get noticed even though your projects save customers millions of dollars.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work. Listen more to your people.

Pros

Dell is a great place to work with a lot of resources for employees. It offers design engineers lots of new projects to work on.

Cons

Sometimes getting basic lab analysis to be done on samples can take a day or two longer. Design engineers should be trained to use these equipment to expedite the process.

Advice to Senior Management

More engineers with sufficient qualifications should be trained on how to use some additional material analysis equipment in labs. Such a training program for new hires will greatly benefit Dell.

Pros

Great and smart people to work with
Good benefits and compensation
True meritocracy or the closest you will get to it

Cons

I cannot figure out managements strategy for the future of the company. What will the company look like in 10 years? Hardware appears to be a race to the bottom, which is the majority of their business. They say services is the future, but what does that look like and how are we getting there?

Advice to Senior Management

Please share your vision for where you are taking the company and how you expect to get there. Dell is not innovative like Apple, they are not service oriented like IBM. You have sold off all assets except for corporate headquarters even nine months after you built a plant in Poland. Where are we going? I would like to help.

Pros

A big brand name, it does help.
Management is very much approachable.
Amazing support

Cons

Very less options to grow, specially for cross skilled people
Management:- Very short sighted.
HR is not that helpful as should be
Ex employees not treated well, given run around like in govt offices

Advice to Senior Management

Streamline the growth and learning process.
Also, help train people matching to thier background, rather than just training employees randomly

Pros

There is a great work/life balance

Cons

unjust performance reviews is causing a lot of employees to leave.

Advice to Senior Management

keep up the lousy vision for a great company and you will lose all great talent to HP and be considered a mediocre company in the next 5 years.

Pros

Good people, good management, happy place to work.

Cons

Very difficult to move up within current role, transfers to other departments are a must to move up.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer a plan to grow within current role.

Pros

salary,travel, ability to learn different technologies

Cons

good ole boy place when it comes to promotions

Advice to Senior Management

take care of employees as well as leaders, too big of a gap between doers and leaders in the company.

Pros

Great pay and awesome benefits. Always encouraged to succeed and management is great at helping promote you to position to meet your skill set.

Cons

Some employees don't take as much pride as others in their work.

Advice to Senior Management

Delegate more tasks to free up your time more to manage employees and your business. Less micro managing on the sales side. Let workers just work.
