Vantaggi
Dell has great benefits, including health insurance, paid time off, wellness stipends/rewards, philanthropic giving, etc.
Svantaggi
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.
