Perot Systems – “Want to Lose your job to someone in India and not receive adequate pay? If yes, Dell Perot Systems is right for you!”

My first few months at Perot were great - despite the harrowing background check (my ex-wife wrecked my credit, thus almost costing me the job!), I was enthused by the corporate PR - associates work together to lift all boats, etc.

Little did I know that thanks to the Dell deal, I'd get ZERO bonus. Understand - every company I've EVER worked at has prorated bonuses for workers who started during the year. Not Dell Perot!

Despite starting within the first 60 days of 2009, I got no bonus. Zero. Zip. Nada. Coworkers who had been lucky enough to start before Jan 1, 2009 got several thousand dollars. The executives who massaged this overpriced job shop over to Dell got massive bonuses.

I busted my hump for the client for ten months last year - and no bonus, despite the fact that Dell PerotSystems has things called "computers" which can calculate pro-rated bonuses.

Thanks for nothing PerotSystems! Can't wait to move on to a company in Silicon Valley that actually backs up all the rhetoric about and "taking care of associates".

Dell PerotSystems is nothing more than a job shop. If you're gonna look for work, look at smaller, local job shops, especially where government work is involved. DPS made close to a quarter-million dollars off of my back this year and can't pony up a few grand in bonus? Screw 'em - I'm going elsewhere.
