Dell

"They're a big international company."

They pay for healthcare, life insurance, and pension plans, as any other company would.

Most of the co-workers are really nice and good to work with. They make the place bearable.

It's been going downhill rapidly for years now.

Poor communication from top down.

Constant changing and contradictory communication, which has big impacts on people's personal lives.

Undervalued and overworked, but they offer a 'competitive salary'.

Gaslighting you into believing you're not productive by constantly switching goalposts or bringing up new statistics/KPI.

Toxic work culture. Constant bombardment of 'Dell culture code' propaganda despite upper management not following it themselves.

Lack of care for employees' well-being.

Lack in flexibility of work/life balance. They would rather have you sit in traffic/public transport for 3+ hours a day than let you work from home, which has already proven to be immensely beneficial for productivity and the environment.

Everything you are entitled to by law is packaged as Dell being kind and generous, i.e., remote work, work-life balance, them unable to deny you time off for medical appointments and such.

Poorly thought-through changes or removal of procedures/tools are pushed through, and everyone else just has to deal with it.

You will be baited with career opportunities: "Just take the extra work, we promise you, you will get the promotion eventually."

HR will take forever to deal with harassment issues, even though there are multiple people reporting it.

Climb down from your ivory tower.
