Pros

Nice working environment; great colleagues Flexible Working Hours Work from Home possibility Excellent company for ramp up

Cons

Crazy working hours when in a global role; difficult to do work life balance; Overtime not paid and officially not encourage but everyone expects you to do it; You don’t progress unless you do "walk the extra mile" i.e. overtime; Very cumbersome processes, it takes ages to get things approved; Lots of admin work HR have very strict rules; you have to fight with them for every 1% salary increase you want to give to an employee, very limited as a manager to what you can do for bonuses, salary increase or other benefits for your team

HP Inc. Response

Hi there! Thanks for your review and for appreciating our people, working environment, and flexibility! To your point about cumbersome processes, you may be happy to hear that we are undergoing a process redesign exercise. We will start seeing more improvements in this space. We are a leaner company now, and we will be nimbler for sure. And with regards to overtime, it is not expected of our employees to work extra hours to get things done. Going the extra mile does not necessarily mean working more, but being more effective and working smarter, so that you can contribute more. Hope this provides more context. ~ Madalina Antohe, Employer brand & digital media leader

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.
