Dell Technologies reviews

Leadership stopped pretending to care about employees; results of the annual Tell Dell employee listening exercise have been ignored. The return-to-office and hybrid work policies are draconian and an unsubtle effort to force employee attrition. Hiring has essentially been frozen since July 2022, with a few limited exceptions. They have done waves of layoffs every six months (Feb 23, Aug 23, and Feb 24); only the first round got significant press attention. The picture they paint is of a company in significant distress, yet Michael Dell and investors continue to be financially rewarded. Internal mobility, once a hallmark of Dell, is a fiction. Dell considers itself a meritocracy, but top talent is laid off, while leadership plays favorites. It’s common for the chosen few to be moved to safe roles/teams in advance of WFRs. For a company that has long prided itself on its “special, unique” culture, they are failing.

There is a huge disconnect between upper management and the sales floor. They push the old school agenda that doesn't work in this day and age. They want you to stay late without overtime pay, they don't want you to make friends at work, they give us crappy leads, it's an all around mess of an organization. The senior VP constantly brags about how much money he makes and all of the vacations he takes while the rest of us are barely scraping by to pay our rent. According to him we are the ones to blame for the state of the company, not the fact that their constant bad policy updates and high turnover rates make it impossible to move up and succeed. It is an absolute miracle if you make it through your first year at Dell. Don't expect to make money either, even if you over attain your unrealistic quota you're making 60k at best. Other companies at similar roles offer BASE PAY that is larger than the TTE plan at Dell.
