Q&A With Dell EMC Employees

Drive, perseverance, able to think outside the box, strong communication (both with colleagues & customers), the want of knowledge and to learn and not be afraid to hear 'NO', those that thrive on competition and you need to be passionate about the product/solution.

Yes, and it is a great one. They encourage all of their employees to give back, not with money, but with their time. They provide every employee with 16-24 hours of volunteer PTO. They can use these hours throughout the year to give back to the community while still being paid. These hours are separate from your standard PTO, so you do not lose traditional vacation time.

Depending on the issue, an issue is initiated via email to HR and they reply back to the email.

We are not saving the world. But is a fun job.

Money.

Excellent.

An entire website is dedicated to redeemable coupons on behalf of the company.

Cubicles as far as the eye can see

I work in sales & pre-sales, and there are plenty of men and women of all ages and ethnicities.

Morale is pretty good. Dell EMC merging into a single company hasn't changed the day to day at all for the people in sales and presales.

Infrequent, but casual.

Tough but a great experience, I didn't think I was being hired because of how tough it was.

Be ready for abstract industry questions, EMC portfolio questions, and position specific questions.

1 - 2 hours

~40 hr work week. Morale is low as jobs are being shifted to other locations outside the US and pay is way below the average. People are generally laid back and working from home when needed is a bonus.

Standard technology questions, but depends on the job title

I don't see a feedback process internally

Know the technology before you interview. Even on a cursory level.

Not so good with slow sales

Learning about new tech and networking with customers

The pace if normal now, but it heats up sometimes and is very hectic.

pretty challenged.

Scared about the continuous off shoring of the business.

EMC is a cash cow - which is why Dell acquired it. Storage always increases at a rate slightly better than market... the converged platforms group also does well because they sell a basic box that runs VMware and requires very little skill to setup and manage - another cash cow. However, there is simply nothing strategic about either of these businesses which is why Dell is getting it's clock cleaned by AWS, Oracle, Microsoft Azure and others who can provide all of these services in a outsourced model at a fraction of the cost.
