Hewlett Packard Enterprise Software Engineer II Reviews

Likes

Great work life balance. Good place to settle down if you have low expectations in your life.

Dislikes

The pros come at a cost. Very poor management with just 2 brain cells. One for asking the ETA and one more is to tell why you cannot get a hike this time. HRs and managers don't even want to break a sweat to retain employees. This will affect the long term growth of the company since the only people that would stick are the ones whoexcel at playing games and events organised by the HR. All I'm saying is HR needs to spend some time looking at peer companies and the kind of money they throw on retaining employees, not just have events exclaiming what an amazing culture you have. Every single person in the org knows that HPE pays below market standards and what peers are offering, so my suggestion is don't wait for employees to go get another offer letter for demanding a hike, chances are most likely you cannot counter....Read More

Dislikes

The management displays clear favoritism, often making last-minute shift changes and denying requests for work-from-home or leave without proper reasons. In some cases, they include false claims in warning letters for reasons only they seem to understand. Contract workers face unfair treatment unless they continually appease the managers to get what they need. Salary discrepancies are prevalent—favored employees receive higher pay for the same work, while others encounter issues during performance reviews and pay hikes. When we ask for work-from-home due to long commutes, we're told to take leave, only to later be criticized for taking too many days off. The inconsistency is frustrating. They also send formal emails for trivial matters, like stepping out to collect a food delivery. Speaking of food, the canteen offers very limited healthy options for night shift workers, with choices like instant noodles and white bread sandwiches, though the cook is good. Hygiene is another concern—there have been instances of worms in the water filters, and some employees do not maintain basic hygiene standards in the washrooms. While badged employees, especially those on their notice period, are often left unchecked for not working, contract workers—especially the quieter ones—face disproportionate scrutiny for minor issues. I'm glad to have left such a toxic environment, where there’s a constant mismatch between what is said and what is actually done....Read More

Great place to build your career as a Software Engineer in your early career.

Dislikes

Too many veterans who have been with the company for many years and know how to navigate the system w/o a lot of effort and calling the shots as far as management decisions are concerned. This can be a deal breaker for someone who moves in laterally from another org for instance

They have good infrastructure and are the only company in Bangalore that gives 6 months of paternal leave.

Dislikes

HPE used to have the best work-life balance in the whole of Bangalore, but now it's equivalent to a service company. Along with the work-life balance, the salary structure is at 50% of the current market pricing for existing senior positions along with skill upgrades.

New management. Office politics because of the new management. No support from the manager at all. Hell lot of work with low salary. New employees get more salary than the existing employees. New management and the manager is the worst if they need you they will keep you at any cost if they don't like you they will somehow make you out of the company. If they are hiring you as a contract employee please don't join. They will make you work like animals and send you home after 1 or 2 years. No shift allowance for contract employees....Read More
