I don't see a single point as of now. This used to be best work life balance org, but not anymore.

Dislikes

The Work-Life Balance is becoming very poor day by day with expectations to work late hours and weekends without compensation, is particularly challenging. Compensation and benefits are below industry standards. The immediate management tends to be retaliative and blame-shifting, which creates a challenging and equally toxic atmosphere., The work culture is dying here, is toxic, pressuring employees to overwork. Too many long, unproductive meetings further reduce overall productivity. There are limited opportunities for career growth and advancement. Too much micro management at work by immediate leaders. Too much work over commit to higher management of immediate leader leading to employee dissatisfaction.

I appreciate the friendly atmosphere and the camaraderie among colleagues at Dell. The team dynamic fosters a supportive environment where collaboration thrives. While the company culture may be average, the relationships I've built with my coworkers have made my experience enjoyable. Having friendly colleagues makes the workday more enjoyable and creates a sense of belonging within the team.

Dislikes

I have several concerns about working at Dell. The poor work-life balance, with expectations to work late hours and weekends without compensation, is particularly challenging. Additionally, the management tends to be retaliative and blame-shifting, which creates a punitive atmosphere. The compensation and benefits are below industry standards, with annual merit increases falling short of the inflation rate. The work culture can be toxic, pressuring employees to overwork. Remote workers face an unfriendly culture, often being forced to adopt a hybrid model and treated as second-class employees. Long, unproductive meetings further reduce overall productivity, and there are limited opportunities for career growth and advancement.

This is worst place to join. They will advertise worl life balance and hire with low salary comparative to best compan. But they will grind resources like anything. Every year they fire 10% peoples. Tell dell is scam if you submit your genuine review against things you are odd man out. And you will be targeted by then.
