Had my interview Dec 9th, then got the classic holiday pause email. Fine, totally get it - everyone needs a break. But then January rolls around, and it turned into this weird game of 'we'll tell you next week' that kept stretching on and on. Finally got the 'thanks but no thanks' email on January 22nd - like 6 WEEKS after my interview. The Actual: Initial recruiter was genuinely communicative when possible They at least tried to keep candidates in the loop Dragged me along for 6+ weeks just to say no Kept promising updates that never came when they said they would The whole process felt disorganized Bottom line: Dell is a big company and yeah, things move slow, but stringing candidates along for 1.5 months ain't it. If you're interviewing here, just know you might need the patience of a saint. And maybe don't put your job search on hold waiting for them. Advice to Dell: Either speed up your process or be upfront about how long it actually takes. 6 weeks to say 'no' is rough on candidates who are actively job hunting."
