Pros

Worked at Dell for 3 years in Dell IT (Software Development field) in Bangalore and was satisfied with Dell, except for my manager.

Good processes were followed for software deployment.

You get to work with the latest technologies, and the work exposure is good.

Flexibility of working from home was provided at times, provided the management approved it.

I would have stayed at Dell for a longer time if there had been a supportive manager.

Cons

Poor managers. At times, heavy work pressure due to monthly production releases, but no motivation in any manner for the extra work done.

Internal job openings are a farce, fixed by managers for openings for some employees whom they had chosen already. I did not find a way to get out of my team by IJP.

In my team, visibility was valued more than talent. So, the person who shouts the highest gets noticed rather than the one who does real work silently.

Advice to Management

I had been happy and satisfied with Dell, except for my manager, who showed high partiality. I did not find a proper forum within Dell to address my concerns.

Dell mentions they don’t tolerate any unethical behavior but do not say what to do if one is mistreated by a manager. I felt like the HR person was nonexistent in the company for raising any concerns.
