Have you ever tried to "draw" somebody who spent last 20 years working for HP into startup? In most cases these people are not flexible enough, stuck in a ways things have been done at their previous job and having difficulty adjusting. I recall hiring one such engineer for then 5 person startup and he asked who will be the IT guy to set up his computer! Disclaimer: of course there are exceptions.
- ardit33 6y agoI worked with folks that worked and both HP and Oracle... As large companies, they have a large contigent of H-1Bs, some of which are very good engineers, who prefer to stay in a large company (and put up with it) until they get their green card... after they get their green card, they fan out to smaller companies/startups.... so, yeah, it is a loss.... (albeit small) for the bay area
