Pros

Fair pay, not high or low. Functions at the facilities, mainly put on and organized by employees, but the company does add some to it. Can sometimes work from home, but this is largely used to get 12-16 hours a day and weekends out of people.

Cons

The running joke at HPI among thousands of employees is, "The work / life balance is that work is your life now. That's the balance". Prepare for required overtime, required working on Veterans Day (even if on a Saturday or Sunday), required working every single day straight for 19 days in November including Saturdays and Sundays in many departments (although not all). It's not a one time event, they actually plan to do this every single year. If you do not work overtime, you cannot keep up with workloads as they purposely plan to give more work than employees can do in 40 hours. Required working through vacations! Even on vacation, most positions it's required to check and respond to emails, even do file work for your position. I have never once had a real vacation off and a couple of them turned into regular 12 hour working days that I never even got to see my family except at dinner. Very strong political views. During the election I received more emails from executives about how evil and awful one side was than I did about HPI. It was depressing that I had to be bombarded at work constantly.

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.
