Hewlett Packard Enterprise

I had 4 years of experience in the Server Testing domain. I really wanted to jump as my salary was really poor in my previous company, so I started preparing myself for interviews.

One fine day, I received an interview call letter from HPE R&D, Mahadevpura, Bangalore in Feb 2016. I attended it. There were 7 rounds of interviews. Many people had come for the interview. As I was clearing each round, I was gaining confidence. Out of 7, 5 were technical rounds, each taking approximately 1 hour, and 1 manager, and the last was HR.

Finally, I got an offer and felt really nice. So, it's been about 4 months that I am in HPE.

• Good work-life balance.
• Exposure to the Data Center Lab is the best that one could get. You get huge technical learning (Servers + Networks) from here.
• Best for experienced people.
• Office timing: I have taken the company transport facility. Obviously, they deduct from salary. You reach the office at 8 AM and leave by 4:30 PM as the cab leaves at 4:45 PM. Timing is not a restriction at all. I would say flexible work hours.
• Complete your work on time and utilize the time for learning activities.
• There is a learning portal which is excellent to learn about technologies.
• Regarding salary hikes, I really don't know as I have not faced one. I will get to know in November.
• Good place to get settled down.
• If you are an expert in your technical domain, then you are king here.
• Relaxed working environment.
• Organization spin-offs, mergers, and acquisitions happening too frequently to become more nimble in this speed world.
• Nice gym, office campus, nice garden. You can take a walk, sit on the green lawn, and chat with your team colleagues.

1. I think Freshers might not like it here as it involves more of System Engineering rather than Application Engineering.

2. I hear that salary hikes are not good, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

3. I see no onsite opportunities.

Currently, nothing as of now. If they take care of proving good salary hikes, then it would be wonderful.
