Pros
Free trips, food, and other perks
Cons
It appears other than the bright folks that are working on developing new products for HP, the regular employees especially the middle management and above are the most pathetic folks I have ever met. Their fixation is on the wrong things to cover their inept and inadequate leadership skills in running a firm in one of the most competitive industry. All levels of the management structure are highly hierarchical, simply content with taking from support staff (or individual contributors) without even showing any level of appreciation. The dribble they masquerade as a strategy is nothing but fluffy good feeling hogwash that hide the lack of substance that underlies a firm that is serious about competition and creating value for stakeholders.
