Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Good culture, focus on work-life balance, accessible leaders, the ability to "write your own job description," and color outside the box. If you're a software engineer but have always wanted to know what it's like to work in a finance team, a marketing team, or a support team, here's your chance!

Leadership clearly understands that they need to change to survive. They have goals of changing both the culture and the product delivery method, shifting from traditional hardware sales/leases to an "as a service" pay-by-consumption model.

They have done a great job in changing the culture, but the transition to hybrid cloud is struggling. The organization as a whole is executing well on their traditional business model, but not executing well on transforming the business model to support the future.

If you want to compete with software companies (Amazon - AWS, Microsoft - Azure, Google - GCP), then you need to hire software engineers and match those companies' ability to deliver new features in the cloud, cloud console, or provisioning. HPE might take two to three years developing a new feature for Greenlake, while AWS can do the same development in a few months.
