Good company to work for, but management ineffectiveness will kill good teams/projects
Good company to work for, but management ineffectiveness will kill good teams/projects
Our specific engineering team was spectacular to work with. All open source, latest tech. Dell's weight as a hardware maker is appreciable; no issues addressing hardware needs.
Overall, the Dublin Cherrywood site is a pleasant site with good canteen/entertainment, though quite remote.
Good benefits, healthcare, training, etc.; generally a relaxed atmosphere.
Large numbers of layoffs occurred during our time.
Attempts to re-absorb laid-off staff were slow and ineffective, in spite of opportunities available.
Cut-offs of large projects occurred without consideration for assets/knowledge built.
Bonuses were tied to (usually poor) company performance.
Individual teams may operate in an agile manner, but overall processes are very much waterfall-driven.
Lack of understanding at higher levels of management of technical challenges clearly affected direction and future prospects.
