Dell Technologies reviews

Lack of career development, and company stability

After spending 5 years in Dell trying to make something positive of this career mishap, I cut my losses and moved on. To this day I cannot laught at Dilbert any more, because it hits too close to home. Dell does not even make an attempt at "our poeple are our number one asset". The employees have been the first to get hit with layoffs anytime the stock goes down. Engineering jobs are being shipped to China, IT jobs to India, this is a fact of life in this company. I've observed directors and VPs from Oracle and Microsoft join Dell and leave after 1 year because poeple got threatened by their new ideas and got them fired at the next round of layoffs. Finally, there was an annual survey question placed to all employees like "If you were offered similar compensation and benefits at another company would you leave Dell" and the survey results were always between 65-85% 'Yes'. I believe they stopped asking this quesiton a few years go. Dell IT is about the most miserable place I have ever worked in.
