"I have worked for Kace since mid 2012 as a contractor. I have barely had time to look up. The Kace group is being taken over by another internal group at Dell, and it has been painful to watch. Dell has been making strides with their software.dell.com initiative and for the most part it appears to be paying off. Good luck to Dell."

"I worked for Dell/EMC for almost two years. The company had good products and upper management, but direct manager was very difficult to work with and most of the folks in my organization resigned and moved on."

"I worked in Dell Force 10, which is a networking division of Dell. The work culture is excellent, team members are friendly and smart, and there are a lot of mentors to help you develop your skills and become more valuable to the company. My recommendation for interns coming in is to be aware of the fundamentals in networking and know python programming beforehand. This will help the intern have a higher chance of being converted to full time."
