Pros
  1. The work-from-home option and working remotely is the best thing.

  2. Policies are good when you reach Advisor level.

  3. The work culture is average compared to the northern region; you can't compare it to the south, where the work culture is very professional and good.

  4. Reverse feedback for managers, which is a good thing I have seen here.

  5. Salary is not on par with the average, but it's okay if you want a healthy and cool environment and want to stay for a long duration.

  6. Earlier, they had a free transport facility; I'm not sure now, as I am not availing of any.

  7. Internet and phone bills are reimbursed in most projects.

  8. They give good, high-configuration laptops to their employees.

  9. Canteen and food are average.

Cons
  1. They stopped onsite a few years back.
  2. Promotions are very hard to get.
Advice to Management

I have seen Dell through these years and feel while going private again, they somewhere forget the basic essence of the Dell environment, which was cherished and discussed positively by everyone. Please focus on basic employee policy, which is slowly and steadily vanishing and is creating disappointment.

Managers do not make extra effort to stop employees from leaving or understanding their problems. Management skill is lacked and is in question if senior employees are leaving with no one to care and listen to grievances. I have also seen personally in my case when I asked my manager where they saw me in the long run at Dell, and there was a question mark on their face.

Common, you don't have any future plans for the people you are working with. Everybody has future plans. I'm sure Michael Dell also has future plans for his company, then why can't managers? Very strange.

Please focus on improving management skills at the manager level.
