Pros

The company offers career development opportunities for individuals who demonstrate initiative and possess the necessary skills. While academic qualifications are considered, the company also values a strong track record of achievement and the ability to contribute value.

Cons

There seems to be a disconnect between required in-office presence and job duties for some positions. This in office policy may inadvertently lead to increased workload and longer hours for salaried employees, potentially impacting work-life balance and overall well-being. We have observed instances where the current scheduling practices may not adequately accommodate employee needs, particularly those related to mental healthcare appointments. A flexible scheduling approach could foster a more supportive work environment but management at this point hasn't accepted that concept for many in the services portion of the industry. Furthermore, concerns have been raised regarding compensation levels for experienced staff. Experience or education doesn't have an impact on the base salary wages of any employees. However, education is the only way to advance within the company. Additionally, the company's commitment to environmental initiatives ("going green") appears to be overshadowed by potential public relations strategies. Management is unable to maintain a proper narrative year to year and provide less when more. Communication is faulty and unavailable for most and causes a rift among the people.

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.
