Pros

Extraordinary benefits! All benefits are the best I've had in my 30+ year career. Work/life balance was excellent.

Cons

Dell changed its personality completely.

Pre-pandemic, it was the best company I have worked at in my career. After the pandemic, employees were reluctant to return to the office. Their work/life balance and productivity were far better while working at home. Expenses were lower.

Then it changed.

Mandated back to the office, even if you had to travel a full hour each way. Remote employees were targeted for layoffs, and other factors like age were also considered.

Dell put everything into the "AI basket" and ignored critical business needs, putting the company at risk.

Advice to Management

You are losing your best talent and shutting the door on a wide base of new talent because you restrict hiring to Dell locations.

You sacrificed many things to reach your goal of under 100K employees by the end of the fiscal year.

You proved that employees are not viewed as the most important people; board members and stockholders are.

Michael Dell selling millions of shares right after the layoffs is not a good look.
