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.

“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.”

Trust is Key to a Learning Environment

Andie, Undergraduate Intern

Still a university student, Andie joined Dell’s Talent Acquisition team in July 2023 and has been with the team for over eight months. Her work includes planning and executing employer branding campaigns, organizing internal events, and supporting the finance team with contract and reimbursement processes. “The biggest thing I’ve gained is working alongside inspiring, kind colleagues who really trust you,” she said. “My manager gave me the chance to take full responsibility for a major event, together with another intern. It was intense—but incredibly meaningful.” Andie also made the most of Dell’s culture of learning and openness: “One-on-ones are common here, and everyone is open to sharing their career stories. There’s also a Learning Studio where you can pick up new skills anytime.”
