People are fantastic, but bureaucracy is a bit overwhelming
The people you find at Dell are really top-notch. I love my team, and I am challenged every day. We get to use the latest technologies and make decisions that have a real impact on our products.
Being an extremely large corporation, it can be a little overwhelming at times.
The bureaucracy and levels of management are far too deep, with multiple layers of managers upon directors upon VPs. It's hard to tell exactly who you are working for sometimes.
But if you keep your team around you, you can make it work!

Software Development Senior Engineer
Technical interviews are simple, as the interviewers are 1970s programmers; they have never worked on new technologies. They do not take profiles directly or via referral; usually, it's through an agency that gets paid big money for placing candidate

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.

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
