Dell Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details rather longer, might have been quicker, had no problems

Interview Details Interview set up by HR, very professional and thorough in detail. The job description and the actual position were different, which caught me off guard but rolled with it. The interview was with two employees in the department. The employees were nice and friendly but really did not have the knowledge or skills to interview for this position. The employees were senior technical reps and really did not fully understand the role that knowledge management has in a organization and the skills it takes. Questions were behavioral but again not really directed to the position.

Dell really should have had someone with some knowledge of the roll doing the initial interviewing. I was not offered the position and I had to contact Dell to find that out. No communication was sent to me letting me know until I contacted them.

Interview Details I applied for several similar positions at Dell through LinkedIn. After realizing that there had to be a more efficient way, I got the name of a recruiter who passed along my resume. I was contacted by a recruiter within about two weeks who wanted to set up an interview within the next three days, which happened to be a Friday. That time/date didn't work with my schedule, so we set up a time for the following Monday. I got a call from the recruiter ten days later with a job offer.

I interviewed with two Inside Sales Account Managers. The interview very conversational with a few standard interview questions (brief review of my resume, Why Dell? Why you?) thrown in. I was over prepared for this interview and the interviewers noted appreciation for that.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. I had the figures for the salary and bonus before I accepted the interview.

Interview Details Having an employee referral really helps you in the hiring process at Dell. The interview was very laid back and the interviewers (direct managers) were very welcoming. Standard question scenario - "run me through your resume, your 5 year plan, why our company?" The offer was extended within 2 days and on boarding began immediately.

Negotiation Details – Non-negotiable salary and commission offered.

Interview Details By phone, 2 times. Not too difficult questions. Had trouble catching the questions as phone lines can be unclear sometimes.

Interview Details A recruiter who works for Dell calls you for the interview, but you never meet this person. You have to get signed in at security to interview, then 2-3 people interview you and run you through a mock sales presentation where you have to overcome the objection and close the deal.

Negotiation Details – Unable to negotiate, an offer letter comes in the mail and you can only accept or reject.

Interview Details 1 Technical Round
1 Manager Round
HR round

Interview Details Interview was core technical. All in depth knowledge abt the projects done. C programming question and protocol knowledge.

Binary tree, bit manipulation, string search.Doubly link list.

Negotiation Details – Negotiable.

Interview Details The first interview with the direct team leader and with the inside sales manager together( at my time). After that I'm waiting around 3 months to get a reply from the hr.

Negotiation Details – The HR of course give the minimum offer first. You need to negotiate more cause you salary wont' increase a lot in the few years unless you get promoted.
