Pros

HPE engineering treats people with respect and offers opportunities to work on cutting-edge technologies. The benefits are in line with the rest of the industry, and there is a reasonable amount of flexibility in working arrangements (work at home some days, no strict working hours).

Cons

HPE is unfortunately in a business (hardware infrastructure) that is rapidly being replaced by cloud providers (AWS, Azure) who build their own hardware and data center management software. It's going to be a serious challenge to overcome these trends in the long run.

Advice to Management

Stop buying companies for a high price and either running them into the ground or selling them for much less than you paid.

Run the company you have rather than trying to acquire companies you don't.

I can't think of a single acquisition that worked out well (Palm, 3Com, Tipping point, etc.).
