Process
Dell was very professional and organized during the interview process. At each step, I was provided with contact information, agendas, etc., ahead of the interaction. I was very impressed with the organization. Regarding travel logistics, their team was very easy to work with and made the process very simple.

Full reversal on remote work and extremely toxic personnel practices.
Dell promotes and retains based on tenure, not performance.
Internal moves are often denied, and promotions may be blocked by indirect leadership.
