Working At Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Pretty good

Horrible. They expect you to be on 24/7. Weekend work is the norm, especially in Supply Chain. You are on call every day. You are expected to provide your own cell phone for business purposes. Many employees call in from vacation because they are afraid of losing their jobs if they aren't available.

Fairly good work life balance in my group. We'll see how things are with HPE Next, but for now, when things get out of balance, it's because I allowed them to get that way.

Fire the current crop of executives.

Anything that can break down the silos. Departmental meetings that span different teams, "whole office" or even "whole floor" get togethers. We need each other and we need to remember to look beyond our own noses.

I would be the CEO. I would invest in development and ensure that my products were things my people would be proud to sell.

being open to new technologies

New executive leadership, management and more investment in company resources. Such as research and development, education. A return to the

Never in sales.

Haven't had a raise in over 5 years

Not in a few years

Great group of people

Some smart hardworking great attitude people that want to do the right thing. Surrounded by untalented disengenious deceptive lazy viscous ladder climbers that lack integrity.

Great morale!

Cannot possibly be worse. Wait, I've said that before and was wrong . . .

Terribly, awfully low. What else could it be, really? This company has created a culture of layoffs in the last decade. These layoffs are by and large not even performance based since any non-performers were eliminated ages ago. On top of that annual raises and bonuses always disappoint. There is no external training for certifications or advanced degrees. God, I could go on and on and on . . .

Listen to the people and stop breaking the company ,up

Meg is good but turnaround hasn’t resulted in the culture cleaning needed at the top.

Treat employees as people and invest in them. Listen to them and value them.

communication

A new CEO and a shake up on the board of dirs.

The policy is there allowing people to work from home but it’s up to each manager’s discretion. In my case, my manager works from home near Dallas, yet he requires his entire team to work onsite in Houston.

You're generally not allowed to work from home. Some employees do and are made to drive by the office and swipe their badge so that the tracking system registers them in the office. If a manager's staff drops below 50%, they get in trouble. They are not hiring any new telework jobs. You must be withing distance of a core site to be employed.

Very diverse.

I guess the normal amount.

Worked from home last 3 years at HPE, but the space in Pleasanton is open floor plan.

Meh. We're losing talent in mid-management, however that might allow some others to shine. A few dinosaurs at the top. Very nice people, however some aren't keeping up with the times, and at least one is such a penny pincher that it becomes hard to get things done and affects morale as a result.

Good middle management. Those at the top aren’t as nimble or innovative as We need, which can slow things down and waste money. Continuing challenges exist moving beyond a single-product mentality. As a result of all listed, talent is starting to look elsewhere.

Surprising more than expected but upper management lacks diversity. More could be done

About 10% women in sales and I knew of one Indian guy.

Wonderful!

dejected, unsure of future prospects

It was VERY rewarding!

Not at all rewarding. Constant re-organizations every 4-6 months have not helped our customers nor employees. Really gone downhill in every way over past 2 years.

They spun off the consulting business that they bought because they had no clue how to run it. They MUST invest in development and roll out new technology faster.

Stay well clear of the Enterprise Group. For the rest, they've basically sold off everything of value.

Heck yes!

My team is knowledgeable, experienced and talented. They constantly work hard and go above and beyond what is asked for.

Better understanding of the end goal. Find a scalable way to share what's going on to ID partnering opptys as well as potential collisions

yes

Casual

Not allowed, as best I can tell. I wish we could bring them, though.

No. There is a performance review system but overall even if you are a top 10% performer then in the event of a downsizing you'll be laid off and the company will make no attempt to retain you in another department.

Quiet vibe. Very quiet. Deathly quiet in the office. Makes it easy to concentrate, but it's also like working in a tomb. Working 50+ hours/ week, down from mid-60's, so headed in a healthier direction.

The people.
