Roles & Levels at Dell

Reading these posts is sobering and the amount of discontent listed here should make any exec concerned about the future of the company.

Anyhow, I am in Dallas and without work for 7 months now, I am an IC specializing in Infrastructure/Networking.

I wanted to see if someone would be able to explain how roles and levels work at Dell. A recruiter I am working with would like to set me up with a role she has but it's hard to figure out where in the hierarchy this falls (and if comp is proper). Thank you.

employes are expendable and always have been,its not that hard to grasp

Don’t work here

@d5 lol an i7 if they are lucky...

depends on the department in regards to what it's actually called but... for me,
i5 - analyst -- unsure of pay
i6 - sr analyst -- 100k-120k
i7 - advisor -- 125-140k
i8 - sr advisor -- 130-160k
i9 - consultant -- not sure but likely 165-210k

Prepared to be an I7 for years. You’re only chance of upward mobility is to leave. They flattened the orgs so promotions are a pipe dream.

@OP I work for a Dell customer and we are stunned by the sheer volume of complaints on this sit for Dell vs other companies. Very concerning.

not the op but he mentioned infrastructure and networking

@OP But that's just it, execs do not care. Dell is unlike any other company. They just don't give a shiiit. Our manager in ISG hasn't shown up for a group meeting in months. We have reported her to her skip, but nothing ever happens. She's never held accountable.

Dell has given up on any form of leadership or managerial discipline. They just don't care. And neither do we now. I would estimate productivity at Dell to be somewhere between 3 and 6%.

There are many different areas in Dell.

Are you thinking of Sales, Professional Services, Customer Service, IT?
