Dell Reviews

Pros

Dell is one company where you can enjoy your work atmosphere always. Dell always involve in charity giving and helping poor.

Cons

Expect no gifts or even sweets any time :), expect to travel without cab only in DELL BAGMANE TECH PARK in bangalore though you have BTP buses

Pros

Customer is number 1, and people are nice to work with. They are flexible with your work schedule, but then give you 60 hours of work to make up for the flexibility.

Cons

Customer is number 1, but so is money number one and so is perception number 1. which causes one to question what he should do, because no matter what, it can percieved as bad for the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop sending directives that contradict one another. You say you want feedback, but reject 98% of it and make your own decisions. You want the customer to be #1, but in my realm, the Cost to make the customer number 1 is way too costly, therefore we have to deny our customers their paid service sla's to save a few bucks.

Pros

Great compensation and benefits. If you are in Texas, you have more career advancement opportunities and ability to move laterally within the company.

Cons

Key decision still being made in Texas and not pushed out to regional offices. Outdated processes that don't make sense are still in place. Change is happening slowly but signs are encouraging.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to enforce accountability from the executives down to the staff. There needs to be consequences for poor product performance.

Pros

Work life balance is good depending on which department you work in ...

Cons

Focus on bottom line only and politics

Pros

Major organization impacting decisions are made quickly and often for a large corporation. This makes for a fast paced and challenging work environment.

Cons

The fast pace and challenging work comes with a price. Worklife inbalance, frequent organization changes, and high pressure deadlines, bordering on unrealistic, are the norm. Manager/Director roles at Dell are not "cush" jobs. They are expected to know and work in the details, while also leading and managing the frequent changes. Workload is very heavy.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to keep the employee value proposition in mind when thinking of the team members. Why is it worth working so hard and making personal sacrifices? If it's "To Keep Your Job", then retention and engagement will continue to suffer.

Pros

Working remote is a great thing. Must be very disciplined however and be willing to learn a lot on your own.

Cons

The travel can be very demanding and promotions are very difficult to come by. The pay is also not what it should compared to the market.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the employees and stop trying to be cheap all the time. Care about the employees and they will give you all they can.

Pros

Type-A folks all around with great opportunity to learn from the collective and one can dictate one's career path and influence success.

Cons

The nature of mature organizations can at times get in the way of faster decision-making and more entrepreneurial pacing

Pros

Large global network, good benefits, brand recognition. Dell is just figuring out how to be in the people business.

Cons

Profit sharing and equity opportunities are minimal until you reach very top levels of management. Frequent re-organization and frantic changes in business strategy quarter by quarter.

Pros

Dell has great manangement all the way from Micheal Dell to direct mgrs with Sales teams. Compensation is above average than the rest of the market. Dell really changed the last 5yrs and work/ life balance is very important to everyone.

Cons

Just takes a long time to get a raise and you have to move jobs to get a raise. If you like what you are doing don't expect to get a raise at all. But other than pay Dell is a great place to work!!! I miss it.
