Pros

The history of HPE consulting means that there are some quality people banging about in the consulting organization.

Cons

The merger and re-branding have entirely broken the company's administrative infrastructure. From getting a laptop to fixing issues with travel reimbursement, you can expect to wait 1-2 hours on hold waiting during each interaction and usually the people you talk two will lack the knowledge or authority to fix your problem. For example, when I left the firm, since I'd been working on a project, I had several outstanding expense reports to be paid. The firm left me holding the bag for over $2000 of expenses that came out of my own pocket. There is no number for me to call, only an email alias that is entirely unresponsive. This is normal at DXC. Additionally, while I met some really outstanding people while I was there, there were also people who have been shuffled fro m job to job, essentially hiding their lack of capability behind the chaos of the company. One of my project leaders was such a person and it was painful how bad at his job he was. The people I worked with were exceptional and extremely competent, but the chaos of the merger and rebranding have allowed many broken processes and untalented people to remain at the firm. Almost everyone I knew at the firm was looking for another job.

Pros

Company just born out of a merger of CSC and the old EDS spun off by HPE Seems to be a good match of size and capabilities A lot more business opportunities, a much larger sales and delivery capability Great people in the trenches, smart, talented, experienced Stock price through the roof for three years straight...but options no longer given out to employees Brilliant CTO

Cons

Same CEO as CSC, which means no raises or bonuses, constant cutting (value retention) Drive for more off-shoring, landed resources (Indians brought to America on bogus visa justifications, for six month intervals). Replacing people with software as fast as possible Replacing experienced people with inexperienced people as fast as possible Ridiculous sales goals set by people who have never sold anything in their lives
