Great pay but not worth the money. Skip it, if you're looking. - Product Marketing Manager Dell Technologies Employee Review

Pros

I love the computer industry. It's a hobby as much as a job.

Cons

Just about everything else... I've been rated good or best every year but I'm still the same level that I was 13 years ago. Management is deeply involved in every decision but makes them without the experts or data in the room...and never tells employees their decisions until some issue comes up with it that the employee has to fix. Senior leadership is lost in the wilderness. There is no diligence to finding out what's wrong and working to fix it. Everthing is a blind shot in the dark based on "gut feel".

Pros

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Cons

The culture completely changed circa 2022. Layoffs happen every month in small batches, so they are not covered in the news with big layoffs, but the total over the last couple of years is 10-20K people per year. Current employees that I still talk to live in constant fear of being laid off. The salary gap between employees in the same function is ridiculous and discriminatory. As a leader, when I'd raise it with HR, it was never addressed. Had a situation where I was hiring an underpaid employee from another team. I wanted to give her a 60% pay increase just to match what her peers on my team made, and I had the budget to do so. HR denied my request to do that raise and only gave her a 20% increase. They didn't want to send the "wrong message" that she was underpaid before (which she was) or that other employees could expect that level of pay raise in internal promotions (regardless of whether they should). They have to come into the office 5 times/week, even though Michael Dell once made fun of CEOs that didn't adopt hybrid/remote work. Just last week, I had a former colleague resign because the stress in the current environment was taking a toll on her mental health. If you have any other option, I'd highly recommend you don't take a job at Dell.
