IT company with little room for software developers
IT company with little room for software developers
Life/Work Balance: You usually don't see people working after 6 p.m.
Salary: It's reasonably OK considering the expenses in Texas.
Growth room:
For software developers, Dell is just providing service for its online selling business. There are no cutting-edge techniques involved. It's generally web development and database processing. There are no such things as "platform developing" as in Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, etc.
Software is not the product, and there is no formalized code review or check-in policy.
For business guys, it might be good.
Benefits:
There are no such things like free drinks or other offers as in the Bay Area. Again, it's not like the software companies in Silicon Valley.
If it's just selling computers, instead of making some innovation, Dell will eventually be replaced.

Dell Interview Questions
Dell Interview Experiences
SWE Intern
The process is different for everyone. Most people only have behavioral interviews, which are very easy to pass. However, my interviewer was rapid-firing extremely hard technical questions, so be prepared for either.
Software Engineer Intern
Very easy interview. It was 2 hours long and consisted mostly of CS trivia and system design, along with "what-if" scenarios. Behavioral questions were typical. I did hear that it depends on the hiring managers you get, so be prepared to do LeetCode
Software Engineer (Internship)
Recruiter screening, 30-minute call, then HackerRank OA, and then a final panel 45-minute interview that was completely behavioral. Lax questions for both screening and final. I think they were really looking for culture fit.
