Please provide your thoughts about the offer and also insights about the company such as growth prospects, stability, work life balance etc. Thanks!

Not a good offer. Low-ball
Lol 5k RSU over 3 years. OP you have been severely lowballed
Thanks for your inputs. I tried negotiating with another offer. They said this is already beyond budget.
Decline
I work there. HPE/Aruba only shells out $$ for critically required talent (folks filling 20+ patents per year). It’s a decent offer considering it’s HPE, but like others have said, it’s nowhere close to what you can get elsewhere...
As RoohRuu said offer is decent considering HPE/Aruba. WLB is very good. Don't expect much hike unless your performance is exceptionally good.
Thanks for the inputs. Makes sense. I have asked for more time to think.
Did you join aruba? How’s aruba wired business unit? Is there any growth there?
is that 5k worth of RSU or 5k number of RSUs. if that is 5k worth of RSU you should negotiate for more
It’s 5K worth of stocks. I tried and that’s the max they could do.
