Dell

No pros so far.

Useless managers.

Useless VP.

I’m deeply disappointed with the current state of operations and work culture at Dell India, particularly in the Bangalore office. Despite being a globally respected company, the internal culture and practices here are far from Dell’s stated values.

No proper planning: Projects are rushed without clear direction, leading to major issues in production and rework. Quality is sacrificed for speed.

Forced weekend work: Employees across teams, including P&E SOWS, are regularly forced to work on weekends without proper justification or comp-off policies. Leadership, including VPs and managers, demand this without acknowledging employee well-being. This is not aligned with global industry standards.

Toxic management behavior: Many managers lack basic technical or managerial competence. They micromanage and treat employees more like resources than human beings. Threats to job security are used to push people into working extra hours.

No work-life balance: There's no respect for personal time. Continuous weekend work is becoming the norm, and speaking up is discouraged.

Software culture is broken: There is a serious disconnect between Dell’s global software culture and what's happening on the ground in India. Agile and quality practices are ignored.

Dell India urgently needs top-down intervention. Executives at the global level, including the CEO, must investigate these issues directly. A culture audit and leadership overhaul are long overdue.

If these unethical practices continue, employees may be forced to seek legal recourse or file petitions under RTI or labor laws.

Dell can do better — and must, to retain talent and uphold its brand.
