How’s PowerScale team to work with? Are there any growth opportunities?
I have an upcoming interview for one of the teams , and was wondering what the future looks like?

Ok, to calm you a bit down, I’ll explain what I meant by “pi----g someone off”. The team was pushed to the brink and their work conditions were becoming so bad that they started to push back. Management didn’t like that and they were all gone. Hope this clarifies it for you.
@ft I'm not defending dell or at least that is not my intention. I was merely advocating for putting a stop to the spreading of false information.
@f9 you are not wrong, there is probably more to that person's tale than they let on. Keep fighting the good fight and defending an employer that actively hates you on an anonymous forum, surely they will reward you with more boot leather for dinner.
@ej That's a little bit different than canning an entire team simply because they pi---d someone off.
@dv I've watched them lay off entire powerscale teams multiple times. In fact, Dell will go so far as to present a shift of moving to powerscale as a great career opportunity only to lay off the whole team a few months later. Dell does not treat employees with respect, nor is Dell an honest organization.
Great bunch, good luck!
@dv why would I want to lie about this? It happened pre Covid. Anyways, I don’t really need to convince anyone. If ye had a good laugh then that’s also good. Is really needed these days in this environment. 😉
@c5 The part about an entire team getting canned is complete fallacy. I am not on the team but sit with them in the office, sincr I sm thr only one on my team in the building and I went to college with several ofvtheir TSEs. They got a good laugh out of your story though.
Like every company these days, the people are great. They are just put into an impossible situation.
It’ challenging but the team is good to work with.
Run far away and don't look back
Good place. Very unnecessarily complex product that isn’t doing anything too innovating. If you want steady work and polish a rock go for it. If you are looking for innovation or new technologies to use that’s not the place.
@aw which part exactly do you think is misinformation? All of what I said I heard from when I was part of GSAP and knew many TSEs from most products and now as an FSE when needing support while troubleshooting on site…
Isilon is not the worst! But working in Support generally is not the best if you want to have a career.
The only reason I’d move to Isilon is if I was a TSE for a product that is worse or is reaching EOL…
Don’t
@ah please stop spreading false information.
Massively understaffed, undertrained, undersupported, and overworked. You're better off finding something else if you can.
Well, they do bring the most money in apparently. Whenever I need their support, I don’t have to wait too long so I guess they are better staffed.
That said, a few years ago a whole team in the US was fired because they pi---d someone off…
So hard to tell.. I guess it depends where you’re coming from. There are plenty of other products that are way worse than Isilon so it could be a step up.
Where careers go to die.
LOL...don't
