Does this org perform well ? What exactly do they do ?
I see a hardware engineering team that's hiring and the base salary is wildly high. ( Near $200k )

Fun fact - AWS first released its object storage service, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), on March 14, 2006.
In another 20 years from now, Dell might (optimistically) have something that works with it.
Whoever said DN and AD need to be fired below is 1000000% correct. These are some of the d-mbest leaders anywhere, which is saying something at Dell.
it's funny Cyber Resilience and Data Protection laid off many folks and contributed to the 10% reduction last year. Kind of cr-ppy place to be in. I know the folks that are left are not all that happy.
how about the new 'Cyber Resilience' team. Aren't they hiring in Hopkinton at this time?
Depends on what product you are working on. PowerScale gets most of the investment. ObjectScale is a zombie product (need to fire AD and DN). Lightning might be ready around the time of the Cali bullet train. The Data Platform is just fluff and a talking point.
@OP, I mean no disrespect, but if you seriously have to ask what do people do in the Unstructured Data/Storage arena, you really shouldn't be working in this area.
On the other hand, you may fit right in because Dell doesn't have the foggiest clue what it's doing in this area. Everything is still legacy DD to our Dell leadership dinosaurs.
P.S. Most people today don't say "Unstructured Storage." The industry typically refers to it as "Unstructured Data or Object Storage" when referring to this space, not unstructured storage. That's a Dell term from legacy storage engineers - ultracrepidarians.
Most likely they are posting internally with someone already in mind. If you are qualified make sure you are not over 45 and don’t even have a hint of grey hair, other wise you get a courtesy interview and then are ghosted.
they let go so many folks in Hopkinton that could have done these jobs. Poor management at best.
@dv couldn't agree more with this perspective. It became more about doing agile than about innovating better products.
@OP I would definitely recommend looking elsewhere. Dell missed this market segment by a mile many years ago. They think that legacy EMC Data Domain products will continue making money forever. Yes, there will always be laggards but with more and more companies moving to modern database technologies, modern cloud infrastructures, and unstructured data storage types, DD will soon be obsolete (it already is for companies who have moved on).
Worse, given the low cost of storage, the justification for high-cost, high-maintenance deduplication infrastructure just isn't there anymore.
Dell is decades behind the market in the unstructured data/storage arena, just as we are in data management. This is due to the fact that most of the innovators from EMC are no longer here and Dell has no culture, or leadership talent, to carry innovation forward. EMC has been dying ever since it was acquired. Credit to EMC for building technologies that could last for years but those technologies are rapidly becoming obsolete and/or no longer supported. Ask any EMC employee who may still be here. They'll all tell you Dell ki-led EMC the day they were acquired. Zero leadership.
@bg It all depends on where yoi are at in the company. For an I8 in storage support that would be a 150% increase.
is that the control path/data path positions? The management team for those positions are lousy. You'll be reporting to India. Find something different.
@OP There's been no real innovation in over a decade from the Storage/EMC team. That just happens to be when Dell acquired EMC. See the pattern?
Wildly high? That's standard IC pay for I8/I9
@av Same products for decades and still raking in the cash.
Typically we day trade at the opening bell. We created software to tell us at the exact time to get in and out. From there we write code for Dell products.
Power/ObjectScale teams. Like all ISG it’s been the exact same product for decades
