Hewlett Packard Enterprise

If you like working in a corporate structure, then HPE might still be worth considering. HPE has some profitable and cutting-edge businesses, such as high-performance computing and specialized server computing.

Slow. Bureaucratic. Unrealistic. Red-taped.

I came from a much faster-paced environment, so how things run internally at HPE shocks me. While HPE has tried to change its strategy recently, it's not enough. Multiple layers of management and blanket decisions made from the top, who are so far away from reality, just make everything worse for day-to-day workers.

While the ongoing cost-cutting effort HPE needs to turn around the business, it was implemented in a stupid fashion that it actually hurts the company in the long term. There are painful decisions to be made, but they should be selective and well-thought. So far, HPE fails at this and loses its best employees.

While Meg stepping down is a good thing, as I personally don't think she brought any significant value to HPE, I'm not sure what Antonio can do in the future to turn the tide around if core problems can't be addressed properly.

Be realistic.
