Pros

Work life balance (more life than work). Pay good.

Cons

No one has a sense of urgency at HP, hence getting killed every day by competition. Even when great products are launched, no one knows about it. Nothing gets done on time - product development, support, billing, collections. No RSUs or stock except for the inner circle. Health care sucks compared to other employers (you pay too much for not a good United Health plan) Employees generally not motivated. Operations and support non-existent. Makes silly decisions like selling the most profitable part of the company in a fire sale (e.g. the Open Text sale). Paid $5B for the unit (pro-rated based on revenue), ran it completely down and then sold to Open Text for $170M in a graveyard sale.

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.
