Pros

Bonuses are good Vacation time (if you aren't required to work during it) is good Flex work (part in office, part at home) Benefits are good Extremely pro diversity, some of their top company goals, almost all corporate communication will be pro-diversity and speaking about diversity

Cons

+Very political for promotions +Posting fake reviews on glassdoor in my name was super offensive, I found multiple reviews I didn't write praising them +Consistently sending jobs to low cost areas (Guad) +Poor work/life balance (Ignore the fake reviews, 50-70 a week is normal in most departments. I have worked there for almost 10 years and been in multiple different departments. No other company that I know of purposely schedules their YEC to be 19 working days straight with no days off not even Sundays) +Not a good place for straight white males in the USA, you will not be a manager because it's directly against all their main goals +Their goals have nothing to do with running a business (diversity/inclusion, sustainability, carbon net zero, buying from black owned businesses only, etc.) this is a huge red flag for longevity. +They do funny accounting (like forcing employees to buy office equipment off Amazon on their own credit cards then repaying them.

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.
