Pros

Creativity and new ideas are encouraged Lots of opportunity for collaboration on large initiatives involving multiple organizations and departments Seems company has started investing more in training/development and specification of job roles and hierarchy

Cons

Budgets tight - very apparent in lack of company activities and events Parental leave very short - 4 weeks (20 days) paid for full-time employees in AMS - Hard to watch colleagues in other regions receive 1 year paid when you're in a global role If you're in a world wide role, expect to be very flexible with your hours to accommodate other time zones - virtual teams also call for longer virtual meetings, rather than quick collaboration face to face

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.
