Frustrating experience as Software Engineer on the "transformation team"

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for the effort of work. Very laid back work place. I probably work 25 hours a week and spend the rest of the week learning.

Cons

As a software company Dell is unable to innovate because IT department heads are always fighting each other. In the time I've been here I've seen new ideas and innovation squashed by micro managers and inter-departmental disputes. Managers tend to protect their friends and have normalized a very aggressive, non-collaborative behavior. There is an enormous drive to make the boss happy so work is constantly being re-prioritized to meet the whims of "leadership" Overall pathological organizational culture. Almost no one can offer or take constructive feedback because any honesty would spoil their reputation among their peers. Interpersonal issues that could be avoided by a little honesty and feedback often degrade into overtly heated arguments or passive aggressive scheming. I've personally witnessed at least 3 of my co-workers throw each other under the bus to "get ahead."

Things were not as they seemed.

Pros

I loved working for this company. I would recommend it to anyone. I worked at Dell for almost 10 years. The sales organization in OKC was awesome. I made some great friends, worked for some great managers. Dell was good to me.

Cons

There are many great managers at Dell. Then there are a handful that are not. I am not going to say anything negative towards the company as I loved working there. As a matter of fact, I would still be there if it were not for my former manager. I would like to encourage any employee there to not only interview for promotions and new roles, but interview and research the manager you could be working for. Sometimes things are not as they seem. Your individuality or what makes you successful is taken as a threat and could ultimately cause you to lose your way, get you black balled or even fired. This happened to me. Stay with Dell as long as you can. It is the best company I have ever worked for.

They're Not a Technology Company

Business Outlook

Pros

At-market compensation, reasonably good benefits, globally distributed, always trying to change and sometimes succeeding at it. A large company that follows the rules one would expect a large company to follow.

Cons

Shortsighted. Doesn't stick with a strategy if it doesn't deliver a profit after two years. Layoffs are common place. Not really a technology company - they are a marketing and distribution company that specializes in PCs. Thinks it is more important in the tech world than it really is. Pending EMC merger has everything up in the air.
