Pros

I've worked at HP for 10+ years. Being such a big company, there are a lot of different organizations, which gives employees opportunities to move around and grow into new roles and skills. They also like to promote from within, which again, helps with career growth. There are also still managers around who believe in 'The HP Way' which was a philosophy the founders, Bill and Dave, used to investn in and support the best and brightest people to give the company a competitive edge in innovation, what HP used to be known for. There is also, hopefully, going to be a renewed emphasis on R&D, to start bringing back innovative, industry-leading cutting edge products. I just don't know that it will be enough, quickly enough.

Cons

HP has been in a slow decline for a number of years and is desperately trying to stem the bleeding. There are a number of reasons for this, but many of them are direct result of bad decision-making at the CEO and Board level. Bad acquisitions, cutting R&D investment, lack of a long-term customer retention mindset and turning a once proud product-portfolio into one characterized by commoditization and a race-to-be-the-cheapest... all of these have made HP a workplace rife w/a demoralized workforce. There is an incredibly top-heavy management structure, which never seems to change, even when layoffs are necessary. Funds for professional development have all but disappeared, people are encouraged to work in a collaborative environment, but then get evaluated in competition with one another, and while the benefits are good, the compensation (at least for my job function) is definitely below that of comparable companies. There has alo been a draconian reversal on the company policy on remote work/telework which has decreased employee satisfaction with work-life balance and resulted in a huge drain of talent (mostly to competitors!) in the past 3 years.

Hi and thank you for your feedback! It's nice to hear you appreciate our culture and the growth opportunities we offer to employees. There is indeed a strong focus on innovation, and we will continue to invest in R&D. I am sorry to see that you are not optimistic about our future. Although the current market landscape is a challenging one, we remain focused. Even in the midst of separation and soft markets, HP Inc. outperformed the market and gained share in every region, maintained our #1 or #2 position in 48 of top 50 countries and introduced new products that have already won awards and acclaims in global press and analyst coverage. To your point about the fact that you are encouraged to compete against your peers, this is definitely not part of our philosophy and culture, and your experience may not be representative for the majority of our employees. I highly encourage you to take advantage of our Open Door policy, and raise your concerns. Hope this helps! ~ Madalina Antohe, Employer brand & digital media leader

Pros

1. The people are fabulous. The best part about HP are the extremely intelligent, hard-working folks. Not a bad seed in the bunch (with the exception of my current manager, who shouldn't be a manager.) 2. Great products. Our R&D group, engineers, product manager, etc. are unbelievable. I LOVE our products. We make absolutely awesome products. Apple does a good job, but they don't have the scope or variety that we do. 3.Benefits - good benefits with a company car though expect that to disappear sooner than later.

Cons

1. Our comp system SUCKS!!! - Since the split, we've been on draw for 4 months and they still can't figure out how to pay us. Manual claims, lack of reporting, we spend 60% of our time selling; 40% of our time trying to get paid on what we sell. 2. Current work environment is extremely demoralizing. Folks are leaving for greener pastures. 3. Outside job descriptions are being re-written to attract young, less-expensive hires. Pushing older folks out with early-retirement offers, WFRs and other stringent requirements that can't be met.

Pros

Work/Life balance is good, you can easily spend no more than 40 hours a week at the office and never worry about working nights/weekends.

Cons

The company's does not care much about its non-executive employees. On the list of "who are the most important people to the company" they always come last. HP used to have reasonably good benefits, but they keep removing them to "save money" while keeping their executives very happy.
