Pros

It's not one company. It's like a 1000 companies rolled into 1. It's a great place to learn if you grow from one business unit to another, from one role to another. You cannot run out of things to learn.

Cons

It's luck driven. If you are lucky to have good management, everything is great. If you have the bad luck to report under a bad management - good luck. Pressure is high especially when the external environment is bad - this leads to bad executive managers showing their lack of understanding of the business. Bad decisions then lead to very bad things happening for the business, for the employees, and then finally themselves. HP used to pride itself for paying amongst the leaders, no more. Previous hits like the audio oscillator, calc, hp3000, inkjet, laser, etc... will not drive the company into the future. The recent breakup into HP Inc, HPE, and DXC... not sure if that is smart. The HP way has been flushed down the toilet in recent years, especially in Asia.

Globally recognized company. Good work/life balance. I don't feel micro-managed in my role. I appreciate the benefits.

Cons

Right now job security is a concern. There are frequent re-orgs. Managing operational details in a customer facing rolw.

Pros

You won’t find a more resilient, good‑humored, and quietly heroic group of employees anywhere. The real pros at HP are the folks who keep delivering results, supporting each other, and holding the place together — even as they’re asked to smile through baffling executive decisions, absorb constant reorganizations, and “embrace” strategies that seem designed by consultants who’ve never met an actual customer. If you want to work with people who can turn chaos into productivity and still crack a joke about it, HP’s rank‑and‑file are world‑class.

Cons

Despite consistently strong performance reviews and years of dedication at a senior level, HP’s decision to shut down our site while offering “relocation” — at my own expense, and only if I re‑apply for the job I already do — says everything about where this company has drifted. The old CEO’s infamous slip, “In HP Business First… I mean… Customer First,” has never felt more accurate. Leadership is disconnected from the realities employees face, yet continues to bring in PwC and other cost‑cutting consultants to tell them what employees have been saying for years. HP was once a company built on innovation, trust, and people. Today, it feels like a shell of that legacy — driven by short‑term cost cutting, site closures, and decisions that undermine both employee loyalty and long‑term business health. For a company that claims to value its people, the actions tell a very different story. Use caution if you’re considering building a career here. The culture and stability that once defined HP are fading fast.
