Pros

None, I come from the legacy of HPE then MicroFocus and now acquired by Opentext, HPE & MF used to be good management.

Cons

Though OT used to say we see all the employees as one, there is discrepancy, legacy HPE/MF employees are used to get fired. And the security guy and site HR will be out of the room right after you attend the layoff call with your manager. What kind of gesture is that? you give 30 mins times once laidoff and why would the HR & site admin should stand outside and see what you do next? Pathetic.
