Dell Employee Review

Rough year

  • Friday, January 3, 2025
  • Round Rock, TX

Pros

I have significant tenure at Dell and have ALWAYS been a promoter of our culture our ambitions and strategy. Michael is such a fantastic leader and business man, I have no doubt the company will continue to see great success

Cons

The last 2 years though has felt very different. Employee feedback has gone ignored while it used to be at the forefront of leader strategies. We used to put together action plans for employee dissatisfaction and now it just seems like a "check the box" exercise where the survey was executed, results were communicated but also completely ignored. I am not just referring to the recent return to work requirements and it's impact. There has clearly been a culture shift and not in a good way. All about the numbers and no longer a balance of the people as well. Makes me sad.

    Pros: Good benefits, 2 IVF cycles covered, 16 weeks paid parental leave, can take up to 4 additional out of PTO. Sharp coworkers. Good work life balance for the pay.
    Cons: The reversal of Michael Dell's 2022 "work from anywhere, remote work is here to stay" to 2024 not allowing remote workers to change jobs or pursue promotions is gut punch for my career. Also Dell has laid off 20,000 people in 2024 and not issued any public statements or statements within the company fro C-level on why. Honestly 1 year ago I would have had a glowing review, this has all changed in 2024.

    Be more transparent on the strategy and why you are doing layoffs
