Thank you for your feedback. As the organization evolves and we go through a period of transition, there is a lot of information shared with employees, which we understand can be confusing at times, for some. Leaders have regular meetings to discuss important topics and keep abreast of the latest developments. We welcome feedback from employees to understand what improvements can be made around sharing information, as we grow.

Thank you for your feedback. As the company grows through acquisition, there will unavoidably be some duplication in roles which may lead to team structure rebalancing to ensure that the appropriate level of skill is attributed to each area of the business. As and when these changes may happen, information is provided to employees as early as possible in line with legal requirements. We try as much as possible to support team members in finding opportunities in other areas of the business, should their areas be impacted by restructuring.​ ​

Pros

Mostly good and reasonable people.

Cons

After years at HP, HPE, Microfocus and Opentext. With nothing but stellar performance reviews and leading cutting edge tech development. The back to office policies (no exception) I believe is what made me a candidate for layoffs. With CEO toughting in company meetings, that though must be in office 3 days per week. (I know it does not sound hard). However, with medical conditions, and office remodeling going on, which made bathroom facilities unavailable on the same floor, this became an issue that was in acceptable health wise. Furthermore, the use of badge in badge out was implemented initially, for Covid contact tracing. Now they have turned the reporting into, monitoring of office attendance. Something the old HP Way would have never worked out. When your role is interfacing with India, and Europe. These positions require remote off hours work as well. Inflexible management, is management simply making a hard job even harder.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, your feedback is highly valuable for us. You are correct that we have a flexible hybrid model and over time, we have seen that while virtual work has undeniable benefits, coming into the office brings about more creativity, innovation, and collaboration. We do remain flexible and there is also a process for colleagues to request becoming remote workers, and accommodations are granted. As the company expands through acquisitions, there will inevitably be some overlap in roles, necessitating adjustments to the team structure to maintain the right skill distribution across various business areas. Whenever such changes occur, we make a concerted effort to inform employees at the earliest possible juncture, adhering to legal obligations. Our goal is to assist team members in exploring opportunities within different segments of the business, should their roles be affected by restructuring. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavors.
