Process
They only want the best! This made it very easy to get the job. If you have great skills and a lot of energy, they love it!
I currently work in Huntsville, AL. If you are really good here, they treat you like an arrogant bastard. But the fact of the matter is: In software contracts today, you have the 'ones who get the job done' and the 'haters'.

Software Developer • Current Employee
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
July 22, 2012
Pros: There are great managers that will do their work very well.
Managers empower and motivate you.
Probably the best people from the IT market are there.
It has a great team work culture.
You may interact with anyone from any team for career advice and to build a network.
There is awesome servant leadership from the managers.
There is a possibility to be mentored by senior employees.
Cons: - Very poor HR.
- You can only get a promotion after 2 years in great form.
- You are compared to all other employees in the same cost center as you, which should be around 400 people. You may be compared to someone in a high-visibility project, making it impossible to get a decent review.
- You can't apply best practices. They hire the best people and drop them in the middle of common developers.
- It's hard for the best people to influence weaker ones if they have been at Dell longer than you.
- Very, very process-oriented, in a braindead way.
- HR makes silly mistakes, such as hiring an ITIL process analyst for a project manager position, and no one sees an issue with this.
