Great at the local team level, but too big for a family atmosphere
Great at the local team level, but too big for a family atmosphere
- Lots of provided training
- Incentivized rewards/bonuses
- Top Tier HW vendor globally, significant name brand power
-
long since lost the "one big happy family" feel that Dave and Bill wanted for their company. You're a line item on a spreadsheet, and if some nameless, faceless bean counter looks at your line and doesn't see value, you will be cut loose.
-
continuous growth/downsizing cycles. Lay off 10,000 bodies one quarter, hire 5,000 a couple quarters later, like most of the large HW vendors.
-
They talk about work/life balance, but to overperform like they want, you are working 60-80 hours a week.
Make an effort to foster the "one big HPE family" mentality again. Make employees feel appreciated and valued. Plan for sales trends better to stop the slaughter/hire cycle.
