Going downhill fast!!!!

Pros

The benefits we had an EMC were amazing. The medical/dental plans that were offered were spectacular compared to what else is out there. The vacation time was also comparable too.

Cons

When we were acquired by Dell everything went downhill. There was no communication from the Dell side. We were not included in any decisions or communication. Everything we got was filtered through other people. We were trying to integrate the two systems (I worked in HR) and they would send out the wrong link to employees and we on the EMC HR side would have to deal with all of the question. They would never send out a follow up email stating the correct link. And we were not allowed to send anything out to clarify.

Do More With Less

Pros

Benefits were above average, compensation was good, work-life balance and flexibility was fantastic.

Cons

Nickels and Dimes - I was hired as a remote employee with the nearest office more than 2 hours away. However, in order to get my job done, I had to make at least monthly trips to that office and was never compensated. In addition, though hired remote, I was told I had to choose between being hybrid or remote and if I remained remote, I wouldn't be eligible for a promotion. Exhausting and Inefficient - Upon hire, my Director's expectations were basically surrounding making LONG overdue improvements, including eliminating employees who should have been eliminated before I arrived. In addition, it was near impossible to improve anything as our team was as lean as we could be, and leadership had no understanding of manpower needs. We were constantly told to do less with less while the work continuously piled up. Our team also severely lacked true support from leadership. We identified MANY inefficiencies and challenges and while we were offered suggestions on relief, our director was constantly changing her mind or prescribing recommendations that took up even MORE of the time we already didn't have. Working for Dell was exhausting! Culture of Fear - I was employed at Dell less than two years and witnessed at least five rounds of layoffs. They also used layoffs as an opportunity to get rid of employees who they were too afraid to terminate. Ultimately, I learned a lot at Dell including you will likely always give more than you receive, and the stress is not worth the pay.

Pros

Great and smart people to work with Direct leaders are always willing to listen

Cons

Constant strategy changes (seems like upper management has no clue on what they're doing) Complete 180 in remote work expectations Tone deaf communications from senior leadership Clueless about AI
