I enjoyed my time at Dell, just too bad they couldn't win the following bid

Pros

Extremely talented team of people I work with, and Dell compensates the talent with a great salary.

Cons

Separation between us and the corporate strategies/benefits. We were one of the many companies acquired by Dell.

I have no doubt that things will iron out as time allows.

Advice to Management

I am unaware of Dell's O/H cost structure, but it seems that with my 5 years with Dell/Current customer, Dell can't seem to win a bid if their life depended on it.

Yes, they have great talented people, and as usual, it tends to cost a premium to keep them, which Dell attempts to do.

Unfortunately, not all customers feel the same as Dell and simply award the lowest or near-lowest bidder.

I guess the customer needs to learn what quality versus quantity means.
