Free coffee! That's it, really.

Minpunten

They're super cheap about everything. Bring your own tissues and pens, they don't supply any. Noisy office, no privacy, no assigned seating, no personal storage. Nowhere to keep a mug, or pads, or a change of shoes. You have to carry everything home every day. Remote work for any reason is very discouraged. If your kid is sick, or you have a dentist appointment, working from home for a day counts against you, so you have to take a sick day. Dell has an official policy that remote workers may not get promoted or change jobs, no exceptions. Do you think people stay out of the office when they're sick? Zero foresight. Executives change seats, and your project gets abandoned for whatever sales emergency or buzz word project of the quarter. Upper management is all yes-men. Executives control everything waterfall style. It's all about executives getting their compensation. Everything barely works. The apps they use, the wifi, the VPN, everything is broken, frustrating, and a waste of time. Everything is cost reduced to the bone. Good college hires leave after a year or two, bad college hires stick around. Need people for a project? They're in an office overseas, they have no experience in your type of product, they're gone a year later. EMC was a great company to work for. They cared. They made great products. Dell bought EMC. Dell does not care.

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Minpunten

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.
