Going down in flames - Senior IX Designer HP Inc. Employee Review

- As of writing this review, the company is facing a class-action lawsuit for Instant Ink gimmicks. The company has turned on its customers to scam them with ink subscriptions which is causing a huge customer backlash and many legal issues. - The same managers who are responsible for this kind of shortsighted thinking get promoted. Those who speak out are swiftly retaliated against, even though the company claims to protect employees from retaliation. - The consumer printer division has become a very hostile environment. The peer review process ensures that only those with reliable sources stay, and force others out by giving them bad reviews. Pay very close attention to this issue if you want to work for HP. - You will not get promoted based on ability or hard work, this much I can vouch for. It is who you know and not what you do. - There is a tremendous amount of nepotism. For example, managers who did not like certain employees would force them to work in the office and warn them, but would let their favorite employees come in whenever they wanted which caused a lot of anger and frustration.
