OK place to gain experience, but don't plan on making Dell a final career destination. - Senior Marketing Consultant Dell Technologies Employee Review

Pros

There are a wide range of jobs available at Dell and most managers provide employees with the flexibility to try new things. Moving up can be difficult but Dell is a pretty good place to gain broad experience. Most employees stay at Dell (in spite of the downsides) because Austin is a great city.

Cons

Incompetent and unethical senior management and board of directors. Michael's last name is on the building and he runs the company like a dictatorship. He tells his "leaders" what to do, they tell their managers what to do, and so on. There is zero tolerance for anyone to question or challenge anything Michael wants to do. See the long list of departed executives who have tried to suggest improving the company. This culture impacts the entire company -- if you are not a "yes man" you will be miserable working at Dell. I've never met an employee who wants to stay at Dell for the long run.

Pros

Huge company with opportunities to grow and work with other teams

Cons

The multiple time zones and countries meant a lot of night or early morning calls. Also layoffs were and are pretty regular.

Pros

Looks good on a resume. Benefits.

Cons

Within two years of working for Dell Small Business, they've cut our commission rate at least five times, cut our base salary by over $10,000, had all sellers RTO, and blocked any moves within the company outside of SMB, all while increasing KPIs. Meaning more work and less incentive. The managers have almost no pull and are used as messengers to deliver bad news every couple of months. I would never, in good faith, recommend that any of my friends or family work in this department.
