Pros

HP has afforded me the opportunity to work with some of the smartest people I have encountered across so many disciplines. Despite their big size, they have managed to keep the political correctness and requirements low, which results in an environment where you can focus on work, relationships and results. They also empower people to have balance in their lives, so there is not a lot of pressure to be at the office all day, and there is flexibility to get your work done where it makes sense, which is greatly appreciated by many people.

Cons

HP is still huge, and unfortunately that shows in their time consuming and bureaucratic ways of working. They claim to be the world's largest start up, but I wonder how many of the execs have actually worked in a start-up? Things are a lot less categorized and process driven, and much more trust and"blur" is extended to employees, job descriptions, policies, etc. so that people can be agile and work across boundaries, which is where true innovation happens.

Pros

Good working culture. It falls a little prey to acting like we're a family and not a business, but at least it doesn't pretend "we work hard, we play hard".

Cons

ELT and upper management have zero vision for the company besides desperately trying to pull up stock prices. Company continues to make deep long-term sacrifices for short term gains, that barely rise above the performance of our competitors. Benefits weaken each year. Example: CVS Caremark now handles RxD insurance, and CVS Caremark is incompetent and exploitative.
