Dell

Only the Dell brand name is good.

No hikes.

Bad managers and seniors. They make you work day and night and weekends too. At last, in huddles or higher-level meetings, they don't even give credit to who actually made the product.

Too much politics. People at higher levels remain at higher levels, even growing to upper-higher levels.

This is because they silently fire or lay off people at lower levels who seem like competition to them.

I can say it's very easy for them to fire female managers. Yes, I have seen many female managers and female team members get silently fired in a day. Giving six months' compensation will not cover the amount of trauma, depression, and anxiety they give to the person who is fired without any reason. Forget about the next job, whether he or she will get one or not.

In short, I have not enjoyed being at Dell for many years. Not at all comfortable. I was waiting for the market to pick up in at least 2024.

Do not fire employees silently. Even if you want to remove the person, at least discuss among all the people who have worked with that concerned person who is about to get fired. At least discuss the points or measure the caliber or skills in comparison to the employees working at the same level. There is too much politics I have seen at higher-level management. They prefer sycophants.
