Dell Technologies

CoC Intern Analyst

May - July 2020 • Round Rock, TX

What I liked

Dell technologies provided a seamless online interview experience. While many other businesses struggled to transition teams to a WFH model, Dell employees seemed to be more than ready. My internship was supposed to be online. However, due to COVID, my experience was completely remote. Dell did not underdeliver in areas of leadership and mentorship.

What I wish was different

Nothing. My experience with Dell was one of the most unique moments of my student life. Everyone was helpful and willing to network and mentor as well.

Advice

When I accepted the internship with Dell, I often thought that my participation was way under the value of what Dell produces. However, I would say to not hesitate for opportunities that come your way. Once you begin to network, you will realize that there were others in the spot you are finding yourself. There is nothing wrong with not knowing something. However, you must remain open to learning as there will always be something new to explore.

Marketing Intern

June - July 2020 • Hopkinton, MA

What I liked

The environment and culture at Dell technologies! I also loved meeting interns from all over the U.S.

What I wish was different

The experience was remote and I wish it could have been in person but Dell made sure everyone had a great time during their internship even if it was remote.

Advice

Networking made the internship even more fun because I was able to connect with the Dell team and full time workers even before my internship. I would recommend doing your research about the company before going into an interview and making sure that you share the same values as the company.

Indirect Technology and Software Procurement Intern

May - August 2019 • Austin, TX

What I liked

My internship was a lot of fun and I could tell that Dell puts a TON of energy into their internship program. I learned a lot about supply chain at Dell but also about their open culture. Every employee regardless of title was happy and interested in meeting with Interns. I also had an awesome manager that met with me weekly and ensured everyone on our team helped the interns and built relationships with us all. We also got to have brown bag lunches and round tables with senior executives like Jeff Clarke and Michael Dell himself.

What I wish was different

Overall I had no complaints about my internship, it was such a good experience.

Advice

I would tell students who are going into an internship is to be comfortable with ambiguity. The first few weeks at your internship or even your new job, it's okay if you don't completely understand what you are doing or how everything works because it does take time to adjust and you will eventually get the hang of it.

What I liked

The pay, housing, friendly people and atmosphere.

What I wish was different

More guidance, structure and a team that is not mostly remote.

Advice

For interns, keep the teams mostly in person. I was on a 15 person team and only two people were in person, one of which was hardly ever in the office. This was my first work experience and I was working alone 95% of the time.

Global Operations Intern

May - August 2019 • Austin, TX

What I liked

I liked that my skills were valued by the organization. I also really appreciated the open culture. No matter what level, people were always willing to meet with you and have a 1x1 meeting. Everyone was genuinely interested in helping me figure out what I wanted to do in the future, whether that was with Dell or another company.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship hadn't been as independent actually. The whole internship was structured around working on a project. However, it was often difficult to get help from the team as they also all had their own projects to work on. It would have been nice to help with their projects and learn from them in a work setting rather than just trying to get their help with the intern project.

Advice

My advice to anyone interning at Dell would be just talking to as many people as possible. It can be scary, but reach out and put yourself out there. Dell is a HUGE organization and you should talk to as many people and learn as much as you can about all the teams at Dell. You never know when you might discover your true passion.
