Pros

Remote work and solid health care benefits.

Cons

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.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
