Dell Reviews

I worked at Dell full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Plenty of opportunities, especially in Round Rock! Nashville is a bit limited, but still plenty of places to move around internally.

Cons – It's a call center, so there are cons about that, but once you get into the mix, it is a great place overall.

I have been working at Dell full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Great job and project diversity for those who excel. Virtual working is encouraged and supported. Very diverse and inclusive environment - with a common denominator of everyone has to work hard and fast.

Cons – Not for everyone - you have to work hard, Dell runs very lean and there isn't much "fluff". In the US, there is a very dispersed workforce, so "connecting" is very virtual, which isn't for everyone.

Advice to Senior Management – Excited to see results of the transformation - going private will be very exciting for us.

I have been working at Dell full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – The people at Dell here in Austin are the best. It is a great collection of hard-working, smart folks that collaborate together very well. Politics are less then other companies I have worked for and you can get things done across functions with relative ease. Austin is a great place to live.

Cons – Have to have patience to see the fruits of the new strategy take hold.. The PC industry itself is challenging

I have been working at Dell full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Lots of opportunity and autonomy if you prove yourself. Ability to learn from other really fantastic people. A great place to grow your career. Huge focus on work/life balance including specifically connected workplace over the past 3-4 years which has improved the company culture tremendously. Many strong leaders and executive team communicates a lot more than in the past. Very open and transparent (no offices - even execs!) Very open door type culture.

Cons – Poor leaders are not managed out quickly enough. A lot of change so some thrive in this environment (I personally do) while others feel lost and helpless and can't keep up. Demanding workloads however, the flexible work focus allows people to get work done when they can and in the manner they can. Some people fail in this kind of environment and need direction.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you have been doing the past 18-24 months. Don't lose sight of our transformation and keep your head in the game. Your team members trust you and faith in you!

I have been working at Dell full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Dell is very results oriented. Driven people can be very successful. Good pay, competitive benefits. Lots of opportunities to try new things and get different experiences.

Cons – Focus on results above all else creates a lack of focus on quality and leads to decisions being made and changed too frequently. Internal politics are VERY BAD with every executive looking to carve out a kingdom which leads to a lot of internal friction and frustration where they should be none. Despite having acquired an excellent portfolio of IP, I feel Dell has a very low chance of actually turning that into concrete results because of the internal politics and inability to stick with a decisions longer than 12 months.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on long-term goals and stop trying to take over each others' jobs. Focus on doing what you've been hired to instead.
