Dell EMC Presales System Engineer salaries in Bangalore / Bengaluru

There are immense learning opportunities. Trainings happen regularly and management is supportive if someone opts for a training even for the whole week. Collaboration is good across the teams as well as often company-wide events like hackathons and coding arena happens where you can showcase and groom your skills. You get a premium work-life balance, and you can work on your own terms.

Dislikes

The Company is under huge debt and struggle to provide good benefits and compensation. Even the smallest of the benefits (e.g. Diwali gift) has been taken away, so you can think of what would have happened to the bigger benefits like parental insurance, allowances, etc. The company preaches a lot about its culture, but when it comes to business decisions and strategies, no one is really aware and knows the reason/intention behind it. It's like blindly following the upper management. Though the learning opportunities of new technologies are there, but your daily job would be on age-old technologies and frameworks as the company has failed to upgrade their products and still the majority of them comes under the 'legacy' category. The job security is a big question as well. Unless you are working on a product on which the top management is betting the company's future, you can be laid off anytime. The company also has partnership with other service based companies, and they transfer their own employees (Dell EMC full time employees) to other companies (I am sure you must be shocked after reading this, but trust me many of my colleagues now work on Dell EMC's products but on the payroll of some other service based organization with meager compensation and benefits). For me, the experience in Dell EMC has been good, but I have seen a lot happening which any new joiner or lateral must know before joining the company.

Initial days working in team was fun with all the experienced folks and everyone took the work as challenge and learnt a lot in first few years.

... and currently only freshers are left. This can be because of multiple reasons). Secondly coming to salary part, a fresher is earning more than a experienced candidate and company is not even trying to match the salary but also no proper promotions. 5 years back at the time of my initial training, I was given a proper training with whole technical part and quality of the solution but later on management in now only focusing on quantity than quality of the solution. One word I want to add is the team which I worked on is kind made like a MONOPOLY where if we ask a question you will out of the job one way or the other (there were multiple situations I saw in last 5 years).

I am currently working in DellEmc. Job security is terrible lot of people want to save there job and try to make others look bad and ultimately you have to quit job. People are hired for latest technology and asked to work on something they are not skilled at. If are joining this company be prepared to change anytime after one year

Dislikes

... project direction. Lot of bulk firing, sometimes entire floor is fired at once. Don't just look salary and join this company, ask your manager lot of questions to get confirmation before joining.

There is nothing to like at all, immediate leaders don't possess software development knowledge and are too much into politics. Too much micromanagement.

Dislikes

No recognition, no compensation hike, no appreciation, too much work pressure, leaders are worst, and too much tracking and micro-managements. Not worth joining the company. All day works and standups including weekends. There is too much pressure at work and there are always very strict and tight deadlines. Zero work-life balance. Downwards learning curve. Managers will force you to work on weekends as well.

Best work culture Good work life balance. Senior Management is good and supportive Various opportunities to work on different tech stacks or framework. So able to get good opportunities to learn. Good opportunities in Dell EMC data storage domain. Dell has strong vision and planning in data storage domain

Dislikes

Compensation is low compared to other product based and competitive companies. No stocks in CTC in general or fresher joinee. Sometime depending on projects technologies used might be legacy/old.
