Dell

I have been working at EMC since 2005 until Dell acquired it in 2016. The technologies I have worked with and the amazing colleagues I worked with, in a friendly environment with work-life balance, decent pay, and other benefits, have been remarkable.

Very, very bad and biased managers, especially leadership, are very bad, which stalls career advancement.

I had to wait 10 years to get Principal and 6 years to get Senior Principal, but some manager's favorite engineers get promoted in 1 year, which is insane.

There is no value for genuine hard work. If you don’t care about career advancement, then Dell is the best company. So choose wisely.

Please provide promotions to the right candidate and avoid favoritism to certain engineers.

Good engineers just need appreciation and better hikes. The right promotions come as and when they are due.
