Office is inside the city. There is nothing good apart from this.

Dislikes

* Dell's U-turn towards work-from-home policy. * Employees are always scared about firings. * Managers & Leads always escape during the tough times and ensure they get credit over good things. * Too much of Politics. * A lot of groupism. I am sorry to say the majority are TN folks and they make sure you are cornered all the time.

Dislikes

The promotions at senior level are difficult.
