Pros

Good co-workers who try their very best each and every day to orders from managers, directors and VP's who have no clue what is really going on and actually refuses to act on problems. They will do an annual Voice of the Workforce survey, create a bunch of committees and sub-committees to address issues, present the results up the chain and in return, a good talking from above with no action.

Cons

Guidance from Senior Managers and Executives who have no idea what is going on. Good example, their Channel Program is a disaster. They claim how good it is. Interview the owners of Channel Partners and you will hear the truth. HP will also recruit young college grads with promises of careers. Don't buy it. They use them and burn them out because they know there are more outside the door who needs a job. HP has an unwritten policy... "no more than 5 years out of college OR less than 5 years experience" in order to get around any sort of age discrimination.

Pros

You won’t find a more resilient, good‑humored, and quietly heroic group of employees anywhere. The real pros at HP are the folks who keep delivering results, supporting each other, and holding the place together — even as they’re asked to smile through baffling executive decisions, absorb constant reorganizations, and “embrace” strategies that seem designed by consultants who’ve never met an actual customer. If you want to work with people who can turn chaos into productivity and still crack a joke about it, HP’s rank‑and‑file are world‑class.

Cons

Despite consistently strong performance reviews and years of dedication at a senior level, HP’s decision to shut down our site while offering “relocation” — at my own expense, and only if I re‑apply for the job I already do — says everything about where this company has drifted. The old CEO’s infamous slip, “In HP Business First… I mean… Customer First,” has never felt more accurate. Leadership is disconnected from the realities employees face, yet continues to bring in PwC and other cost‑cutting consultants to tell them what employees have been saying for years. HP was once a company built on innovation, trust, and people. Today, it feels like a shell of that legacy — driven by short‑term cost cutting, site closures, and decisions that undermine both employee loyalty and long‑term business health. For a company that claims to value its people, the actions tell a very different story. Use caution if you’re considering building a career here. The culture and stability that once defined HP are fading fast.
