Dell Technologies reviews

They are literally working people to the point of sickness and death. Had to attend my coworker's funeral after he died of a heart attack brought on by work related stress at the young age of 38. He left a wife and children behind. Know of several others that died under similar circumstances here. The ambulance carries people out of this meat grinder on a regular basis. Almost funny when the rescue truck parks directly under their "Great Place To Work" banner (it should read: "Arbeit Macht Frei"). Their regular and unjustified layoffs are used as purges to eliminate those who can't be legally terminated. Once they make you sick, they see you as a liability to them and you will be ambushed at the next layoff, which is never very far away. In a blatant effort to remove anonymity from their employee satisfaction survey, management actually exported a copy of the survey onto an external website and forced us all to take it there, before submitting the real one - just so they knew exactly who said what about them. Imagine this: people are literally dropping dead around you and you're supposed to say what a wonderful job management is doing, or you will be laid off. Never have gotten a raise and have never even been paid my full salary in all the years I've been here. You will be forced to carry the workload of 6 or 8 different positions combined into one job. Everyone here is miserable and management has got "railroading" innocent people down to a science. Backstabbing, incompetence, corruption and politics are all rampant. The best thing you can do at this place is to leave. Haven't seen people treated this way outside of a concentration camp!

Leadership stopped pretending to care about employees; results of the annual Tell Dell employee listening exercise have been ignored. The return-to-office and hybrid work policies are draconian and an unsubtle effort to force employee attrition. Hiring has essentially been frozen since July 2022, with a few limited exceptions. They have done waves of layoffs every six months (Feb 23, Aug 23, and Feb 24); only the first round got significant press attention. The picture they paint is of a company in significant distress, yet Michael Dell and investors continue to be financially rewarded. Internal mobility, once a hallmark of Dell, is a fiction. Dell considers itself a meritocracy, but top talent is laid off, while leadership plays favorites. It’s common for the chosen few to be moved to safe roles/teams in advance of WFRs. For a company that has long prided itself on its “special, unique” culture, they are failing.
