Dell Technologies reviews

Lies: We were told backlog wasn’t taken into consideration when quotas were issued. Turns out they were. Been remote since Covid. Was told we’d never go back. Been over 3 years and even CEO said it’s permanent. People made life choices based on this! Now, we must return. Pretty normal. Promotions: You can do everything you are told to do and they still won’t promote you. This is 100% a lack of good leadership. People get promoted based on “who you know” not “what you do”. Quotas: These have always been high, but the company literally made quotas this year so high because the paid out too much last year. That’s not ok! In the last 3 years quotas have quadrupled! After 14 consecutive “record breaking” quarters, we are are now “paying back” the company?!?!

The company has become much too big and there is a tremendous disconnect between the executive leadership and the front line workers. Middle management comes from two legacy organizations who are as different as can be. Legacy Dell focuses on how to cut costs. Legacy EMC focuses on their own old ways and keeps the clique mentality alive. As a result, decisions are slow to be implemented and the level of politics has steadily increased. There are no career paths available! There is lots of mention about diversity and inclusion but that only applies to the lower levels of the company, once it gets into management, it is basically nonexistent. Also, there are recurring layoffs of senior resources whose salaries are considered too high (if you are L-EMC, then consider your days numbered unless you are low cost.)
