Legendary company lost in time
Legendary company lost in time
Great heritage and proud history of innovation.
After all the changes in recent years, still a lot of extraordinary people around.
Too much politics and meaningless internal marketing without real substance. Not everybody is up to the task, but the existing human potential is much more valuable than the company itself. It's a strange case where a total is considerably less than the sum of its parts.
Turning back to its roots (not a good idea!), HPE is going back to predominantly being a hardware vendor, with software and consulting services being totally neglected. Although they will tell you a different story, do not believe them; actions in the last 3-4 years clearly speak for themselves. It looks like they did not learn anything at all from the IBM story.
Apparent financial success does not reflect the reality because it's largely based on massive layoffs and closing down operations in many countries. This will once more buy some time, but the reserves are very thin now.
Once a true giant and leader in the IT industry, this company has been disassembled and is now at its lowest level ever. Good people are leaving the company, and with current ideas and leadership, it can only go downwards.
Go away, you have done enough damage already.
