Culture, Dell technologies seems to be big on culture. This is true. But actions speak louder than words!!!! They go on and on about how we’re here to win and change the world but really it’s just more corporate greed! In 2020 at the height of the pandemic September 8th 2020 there was an all hands meeting where we were all told how great the company is doing and we’re blowing the number out of the water and sales were way better than expected. At the beginning of the pandemic they stopped promotions and 401k matching . Then on September 16th 2020 they decided to announce a massive layoff claiming COVID down turn!!!! I call BS

Pros

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Cons

The culture completely changed circa 2022. Layoffs happen every month in small batches, so they are not covered in the news with big layoffs, but the total over the last couple of years is 10-20K people per year. Current employees that I still talk to live in constant fear of being laid off. The salary gap between employees in the same function is ridiculous and discriminatory. As a leader, when I'd raise it with HR, it was never addressed. Had a situation where I was hiring an underpaid employee from another team. I wanted to give her a 60% pay increase just to match what her peers on my team made, and I had the budget to do so. HR denied my request to do that raise and only gave her a 20% increase. They didn't want to send the "wrong message" that she was underpaid before (which she was) or that other employees could expect that level of pay raise in internal promotions (regardless of whether they should). They have to come into the office 5 times/week, even though Michael Dell once made fun of CEOs that didn't adopt hybrid/remote work. Just last week, I had a former colleague resign because the stress in the current environment was taking a toll on her mental health. If you have any other option, I'd highly recommend you don't take a job at Dell.
