Dell Technologies reviews

Management constantly changes the KPI goalposts (sometimes every month) Minimal internal communication and coordination between departments Extremely fast-paced, extremely high stress environment Nearly impossible to escape your initial role; a common joke you'll hear is that the best way to be promoted is to quit and re-apply in 6 months Pay doesn't keep up with the market; it's common for new hires to be making significantly more than the company veterans

While Dell frequently emphasizes its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the reality is that Black employees in technical roles are often excluded and marginalized. Black women are largely relegated to administrative, sales, and DEI roles, with few opportunities to advance in technical fields. Furthermore, the burden of DEI work should not fall solely on Black employees in non-DEI roles. The culture at Dell often made it difficult for Black employees in technical roles to feel like valued members of the team. Even when we spoke up about our concerns, we were met with hostility and retaliation. Ultimately, the toxic and exclusionary environment at Dell made it impossible for me to feel like I was making a meaningful contribution to the organization. I cannot recommend it as a supportive or inclusive place for Black women software engineers, and until the company takes concrete steps to address its culture of discrimination and harassment and prioritize the well-being of all employees, I urge technical job seekers to look elsewhere for opportunities.
