Dell Technologies reviews

The company quickly transformed from one of intelligent risk taking at the individual level to one of deliberate conservatism where ideas often faced the scrutiny of multiple focus groups before utlimately being accepted or rejected. Trite, but it got to the point where management often felt as though they were not adding value unless they held a meeting about having a meeting. Toward the end of my time there, I questioned the effort I should put into my work because projects were increasing being delayed, derailed or redirected.

One of the challenges while working at Dell is having to juggle multiple tasks of equal importance. While the company preaches Work Life Balance, it is often difficult for people to truely "turn off the switch" when they go home. There are always 3-4 things on a person's plate at any given amount of time and being able to juggle everything is a daily chore. Communication is so important in getting things done, and too often the people rely on on email versus actually talking to a person to get things done. One other area which affects not only Dell is the ability to offer training, again it's another area which employees are forced to time juggle.
