      Some positives, a lot of uncertainty

      Pros

      The individual contributors and first-level managers are great to work with. The work environment is decent. There is expansion taking place at the site where I am located.

      Cons

      Upper management's focus is on near-term financials and the major product lines are in mature markets with little to no growth. Investments in new business opportunities are coming none too soon. The result is a lot of downsizing has taken / is taking place and a lot of uncertainty exists about the future. Complicating the picture is that in the U.S. and Europe HP has an aging workforce and has efforts in place to shift to a younger demographic. More experienced, long-term employees are being pushed out via layoffs and early retirement incentives. The standard set of large company issues still exist; bureaucracy, top-down decision making, low risk taking, etc. Raises are few and small as are the year-end bonuses. Don't expect either one to keep from being disappointed. It is a challenging time at HP, Inc. If you are an early career employee, it can be a decent place to gain experience at a large corporation. Just be sure to work in a growing business within the company. Avoid the older, mature, declining businesses.

      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.

      Things have gone downhill

      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
