Learning to Take Ownership – Bailey Lee, Product Operations Engineer 

Bailey joined Dell as a Product Operations Engineer after completing his master's degree in 2022. Before becoming a full-time employee, he was also an intern in the same team. “To become a Dell intern, I think it’s important to have not only relevant academic background or technical skills, but also strong communication and teamwork abilities,” Bailey shared. “Since you’ll often work with colleagues from different countries, being able to communicate fluently in English is a big plus.” He recalled that the flexible culture at Dell took some getting used to at first. “No one gives you step-by-step instructions. Instead, you're encouraged to think independently—what you want to do and how you can contribute—and then discuss with your mentor or manager.” This environment taught him how to take ownership of his learning, networking, and project delivery. It’s what led him to realize that Dell was where he wanted to grow his career.

Bertha Chen's Quote and Image

“Feeling Respected Made Me Want to Stay” – Bertha, Software Engineer in the OS Department 

Bertha interned in Dell’s Operating System (OS) department in 2023 and later returned to the same team as a full-time software engineer after graduation. During her internship, she developed a tool to help streamline debugging processes with ODM partners. “My biggest takeaway was the connections I built,” she said. “I even scheduled 1-on-1s with every team member. Everyone was so generous with their time, sharing what they work on, the skills required, and even giving career advice.” She also appreciated how Dell supports fresh graduates: “From networking events to casual socials and career talks with senior managers, Dell invests in helping early-career talent get settled, grow their network, and find their path. That made a huge difference for me.” 

“Seeing My Work in Real Life Was So Rewarding” – Jarwy, Electrical Engineer 

Jarwy interned with the XPS team in 2022, working on an early-stage patent project to solve laptop lid movement issues using variable magnetism. He handled circuit design, firmware control, and integration with physical laptop components. “One of the most fulfilling things is seeing your work out in the real world,” he said. “When I see Dell laptops I helped build in coffee shops or even on TV shows, it’s just so rewarding.” He also shared a more personal reason for staying with Dell: “I had military service obligations, and Dell allowed me to join full-time first, then take a leave of absence to complete service. That flexibility really stood out and made my decision easy.”
