Pros

The coworkers are the best part of HP. I worked there for 20 years and developed some great friendships.

Cons

The management (esp exec) has lost most respect from the workers. The management has made horrific decisions since the days of Carly Fiorina and have been staying with the company. The worker bees are laid off and the bad managers take the high level technical jobs. Hence, there is very little creativity/innovation at HP in Corvallis. The really good people have left. I think that the site has gone from 10K employees to a little over 1 K - and this is due to the crappy exec and middle management.

Pros

Great work/life balance Competitive Pay A players Manager support Global company Good bonuses

Cons

Goals change so frequently sometimes it felt as though all the hard work was for nothing. Competitive environment so you need to show your value outside of your role to get assistance and build a brand/ name for yourself. Internal opportunities "require" referrals and building rapport with that team. Otherwise your application is ignored. Salary raises are not great so negotiate your incoming salary well. Your direct manager shapes your experience, not a con necessarily. Poor managers or shift in management can impact your experience heavily.
