Pros

Crazy Employee Benefits like Public Holidays pay, Leaves, Shift Allowances. Inspire Awards Yearly Bonus always above 100%

Cons

This should be your place, only if you want some regular income without growth. Freshers' careers will be destroyed if you don't make a move within a year or 2. The management is literally running a 300+ employee startup I must say. False promises. Never seen a company where 30+ freshers join every 2 months once in the name of team expansion. Hiring happens aggressively, employee attrition is very common, tells about how employees are taken care of. Bad domain for a fresher to start IT career. What they do in this business is no way close to PreSales. This is a support role where you have to support Systems Engineers based out of America/APJ/EMEA. No customer-facing experience given. Good salary compared to other Indian service based companies. This is not a right place for employees who want to grow technically. 8hrs per day making PPT and presenting it to somebody else who doesnt even care, this is the reality of the work. Changing domains, switching careers becomes impossible if you spend 2+ years here as a fresher. As a 3years experienced professional who served this BU, my sincere suggestion is to not join this role. Better to accept a 10k salaried technical (real technical) job than this 50k fake semi-technical role. You will go nowhere. Night Shift role. This BU is bringing a bad name to the DELL brand. I was promoted from Associate Sales Engineer Analyst to Sales Engineer Analyst. But I still do not recommend this role to anybody. There are no opportunities outside in the industry for this role. YOU WILL STRUGGLE FOR REAL. Here is how this could make a difference, 1) Freshers joining a start-up for 10k as an Engineer, switch after 2years, paid 6-8L, work for 2more years and switch again, paid 12-15L having a total of 3 to 4 years experience. (You would be in par with technical standards of the industry). 2) Freshers joining Associate Sales Engineer Analyst role for 5 to 6L upfront, struggle later for not selecting a technical role and crib over it for 2years or more. Then somehow get promoted and reach the 8-9LPA mark. After that, you will witness your IT career Downfall, sad but true. (You will not be on par with the outside industry, everything that you would have learnt would be Dell specific) ISILON, Power family, DPS products etc etc etc diagrams, ppt, quotes will take you nowhere. A Pre-University guy who gets 7days of training/KT can finish all the works done by the so called "RSEs".

Pros

Dell was a remote first company for over a decade and paid below market for that reason. After laying off 5% of its working in February 2023, they are making people go back to the office three times a week. The individual contributors on my team are great, smart people who are humble. I work hard to not let my team down.

Cons

The management is toxic and fake. Middle management is full of yes men and women, and they all look out for each other. It's all about who you know and how much brown nosing you do to move up. There is more politics than most companies. They pretend to care for employees but all they care about is CYA. This is evident based who they cut at the last layoff - people who are actually smart and capable and threaten their jobs. There is no innovation strategy and it is viewed as a dinosaur (too old, too slow).

Pros

The benefits we had an EMC were amazing. The medical/dental plans that were offered were spectacular compared to what else is out there. The vacation time was also comparable too.

Cons

When we were acquired by Dell everything went downhill. There was no communication from the Dell side. We were not included in any decisions or communication. Everything we got was filtered through other people. We were trying to integrate the two systems (I worked in HR) and they would send out the wrong link to employees and we on the EMC HR side would have to deal with all of the question. They would never send out a follow up email stating the correct link. And we were not allowed to send anything out to clarify.
