Pros
Great benefits, onsite health numbers, cancer screening, etc. Nice cafeteria, gym and grounds. Peer group is excellent. Most people put in 40+ to 80 hours a week. Very dedicated.
Cons
Whats inside. Complex silos that have competing agendas, broken processes, antiquated systems. What they don't tell you is that HP layoffs aren't a matter of if, but when. That you are doing three jobs, work 60 hours a week, and have no home-life doesn't matter. 40 appears to be a magic age when people get a workforce reduction notice. Oh they say you have 60 days to find another position and supposedly preferential treatment, but HP Alumni report that that almost never happens - not for the over 40 crowd. And then you can never work for them again. So they seek out areas with lower wages, and then there is almost no way to replace that income.
