I joined HPE in 2011. Was there with the company till Feb 2017. I was working as a Tech lead at the Chennai office. The leadership during the HPE days (last 4 years especially) was one of the worst in my Career.
The Bad News:
I am hearing about the mass layoffs from my friends. This is very painful as some of my good friends had tears when they spoke with me. Instead of removing MG2s who have hefty pay checks and do literally nothing, the ENTs, INTs and SPEs are being asked to go for now reason.
The Good News:
I also heard that a handful of the so called Leaders (only a handful) have been sent our recently. I felt happy, very happy indeed. Let me give you a background. Especially in the last 4 years, a few Women employees (especially senior MG1s and MG2s) who adjust with the leaders got promotions and Roles. They are now still continuing with DXC. People who stayed with the Management in resorts in Mauritius, Goa, Fisherman-cove, Chennai (multiple times), Bangalore and Hyderabad resorts have only been getting good roles and Promotions. The hard-work put by the others is generally not considered as a criteria.
Had been a completely unethical company. Thankfully most of those folks are out now. But a few still remain.
Being a women, I would advise not to join. I thank god that I left HPE-DXC 8 months ago. Currently working as a Tech lead and I am happy now. Frankly, though the pay rise was not much here, but the company that I work for now is Ethical and Safe. I am happy and thankful. Thank you god.
