Dell Technologies reviews

Too many to name but let's name a few: - Majority of the people are not passionate about IT and computing technologies; they come in for the paycheck and run helter skelter. - Since these people come in for the paycheck, rather for the enjoyment of their work, they would do what it takes to make their own lives easier by palming off work to their colleagues and not taking ownership of issues. - It's all about the numbers and revenue; the sales team would do whatever it takes to save their own backsides, even if it means stuffing the customer around and their colleagues. This leads me to my next point... - It would appear the sales team can do no wrong; They can stuff something up, like take a long time before engaging a customer enquiry or cause a MWD issue and don't get punished for it. Even worse, they will find a scapegoat from another team to blame. Funny enough, this kind of behaviour is encouraged by sales managers and Account Executives. - We keep hearing hearing that we aren't doing so well, no bonuses for the year and no pay increments. However, they had enough money to send some sales people to Las Vegas for a so-called "conference. They also had enough money to send their top sales people and their families to Barcelona for a week and funny enough, one of these top salespeople are also responsible for causing a lot of MWD issues. - Refusal to change or work outside the box; a simple issue can be so difficult to fix, due to the amount of red tape and bureaucracy. - Redundant organisations/teams; I will try my best to explain this. Why in the world, would you have two different organisations in the company that is capable of doing the same work/services, in a different manner? What is the point of that? On top of that, these organisations have different directors, so naturally each director would attempt to put each other out of commission because they have their own revenue targets to meet. There are much more issues and I can go on for ages, but let's leave it at this for now.

Bad developer experience (if you care to develop quickly and properly), because of: Very bad management, especially from the technical point of view. No concrete responsibilities - everyone is responsible for everything, which makes everyone responsible for nothing, making it next to impossible to quickly find the right SME for the problem at hand. Outdated development practices and technologies. Sticking to convenient technologies, instead of the appropriate ones. Outdated management mentality. Low quality of programmers (hence colleagues). Very high throughput of people. No specialization - tasks are thrown at you without regard to your specialization. Your colleague might have to do your job (using JavaScript, which she does not know) in a week instead of a few hours, because you are given her tasks, which you also will be completing 10 times longer because you do not know Python. Hence - tens of hours of lost time (Michael Dell pays dearly for each), bad quality of code, etc... No developer workstations with Linux or Mac - the company is stuck to very glitchy Windows-based machines with very resource-greedy security tools (e.g. bootstraping a project takes 30 minutes instead of 2 due to antivirus software) which I had to restart almost every day, and develop instead remotely on Linux virtual servers. Terrible communication and response time among colleagues - nobody is in a hurry, probably thinking that Michael will pay any way (or lay you off, because you are too expensive). At the moment the company actively sheds both bad "apples" and good but expensive ones in hundreds and thousands, shifting development to India, whose developers are much cheaper, but mostly very slow and of low quality.
