Process
The first round consisted of questions on the I2C and SPI protocols. With respect to C, there were questions on the significance of the volatile and static keywords. Also, there was a program to add and delete a node from a linked list, which you were asked to execute on a PC. It would be best to run it in one shot, without warnings or errors.
Questions
Have a very clear understanding of the volatile keyword and cache. You can find the answers on the Stack Overflow website.

Dell Work Experiences
4.0
Great Company, No Downsides
Software Engineer -2 • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
February 23, 2021
Pros: Really Good Company to work for
Cons: No cons as such, as far as I have experienced.
3.0
Dinosaur company with miserable internal processes
Solutions Architect • Current Employee
December 14, 2021
Pros: Flexible hours, average pay, decent benefits.
Cons: There is nothing sexy or cool about working at Dell. Its technology is not innovative or changing the data infrastructure landscape in any way. Do you really want to work for a company whose flagship product launch every five years is just a product that's faster than the old one?
Dell saw the writing on the wall with cloud and had to release project APEX, which is still on-prem hardware at the end of the day.
The internal Dell tools are absolutely abysmal to use and make the job such a headache for us and the customers. People have been complaining about this for years, and it seems the tools only get worse.
You'll join a customer call and have one customer and 10 Dell people on from all the different teams. It's ridiculous.
2.0
No longer driving human progress
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 31, 2025
Pros: It used to be work-life balance, but Dell has opted to dilute that advantage as it continues to use subversive attrition methods.
Cons: The company continues to renege on its flexible work policy and no longer has the innovative leadership to distinguish itself as a great place to work.
