Great opportunities, maybe not long-term career choice

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Nashville, TN

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

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

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

Fast paced, driven and challenging environment

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

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

ProsGreat 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.

ConsNot 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 ManagementExcited to see results of the transformation - going private will be very exciting for us.

Great Place to work and grow professionally.

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

ProsIt is a company with lot of opportunity to learn and grow as long as you are self motivated. very competitive work culture and growth is based on meritocracy.

ConsVertical growth is hard especially since the company is going through business transformation, cost cutting and always the mindset to increase productivity from existing resource.

Great people and a great place to live

Director (Current Employee)
Austin, TX

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

ProsThe 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.

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