Michael Dell: Closer You Look, Less You Like (Pt 4)
Posted By:Jane Wells
Sectors:Media

Here's a closer look at more of the data coming from online employee reviews submitted anonymously to www.Glassdoor.com.

Here, Glassdoor CEO Robert Hohman explains on tape that while Accenture's [ACN  Loading...      ()   ] CEO Bill Green has an overall approval rating of 58 percent, and Dell's[DELL  Loading...      ()   ] Michael Dell has one of 53 percent, the ratings, like real estate, change depending on location, location, location. Employees who work inside Accenture's headquarters give Green a higher rating than those who work out in the field. It's the opposite with Michael Dell.

On the Glassdoor web site, users who say they work for Dell have posted reviews with headlines like:

"Success led to blinding arrogance at this formerly great company." --Senior project manager in Austin

"Lost."--Senior software consultant in Austin

"toad."--Product marketing manager in Austin

"Looking for an offramp."--Tech support manager in Austin

"Working at Dell is a contact sport!"--Anonymous in Austin

What's the common thread? They're all allegedly written by employees working at headquarters. But they're not all negative. There's also this review from someone who claims to be a project manager in Austin: "Solid company with lots of opportunities." The video clip is Hohman's take on the data.
