Dell

You'll be involved in big stuff and a variety of technologies. They have their own restaurant, which is pretty cheap. Good place to work if you're not into ambitions.

Located in Cherrywood, which is really far—a 1-hour trip by metro.

Beware of payroll cut-offs. After you're accepted, you can end up without salary for two months.

You'll have to be a "model employee," at least for the probation period. This means you have to hide what you think, or else you'll have problems with management. You have to work from 9 to 5, and not a minute earlier or later.

Opinions about you can change at any time, and Dell has well-made procedures to put people out of the company for any possible reason, as it happened with me. Also, all the hype about their code of conduct, and especially integrity, doesn't work at this company (at least in Dublin).

During trainings, you'll be told that the ethics committee and even Michael Dell will help you with all your complaints. That's not true. All emails to Michael Dell were completely ignored, without any reply from anyone, and all requests to the ethics committee just went in vain.

You won't even have personal development involved with your manager and you. You're on your own, and you have to make reasons for refusing various company activities that are not related to your work. Many managers will fight for your voice on their meetings, so that basically means telling lies to others. Being honest will bring you nothing more but troubles.

Please keep in mind that your job performance is not a case in this company. Most impression they get is from your social behavior, like participation at meetings, being in the office at 9, getting along with people, the way you look, and the way you talk.

After the probation period, lots of people start working from home so they can focus on work instead of being "Mr. Perfect" in the office.

Start talking to your team. Learn data structures and networking theory before dealing with IT. Start doing personal development with the people you're responsible for.

Stop sneaking behind people's backs and talk everything straight away to everybody during meetings, or at least say that you "can't tell it now," then telling lies.
