Extremely Toxic

Pros

It was nice to gain insight to the company's processes; why and how things happen. I liked learning about all their technology.

Cons

The nepotism and bureaucracy was off the charts. I saw multi linguists and people with advanced degrees underpaid and over worked. They treated their best people like garbage. Everyone was afraid of losing their jobs at a moments notice and for good reason. I saw some very hard working and conscientious people get harassed by managers, slandered by leadership, over loaded with work and denied fair treatment; the typical toxic corporate environment. It seems that narcissists and bullies are the ones who are kept on and get promotions. HP's products have reached an all time low. They are literally built to fail as soon as the warranty expires, some fail even sooner. Customers are given a horrible run around and they are furious. There have been many Better Business Claims made.

Micromanaging Nightmare

Pros

I was super excited to join HP and to be working within a brand new team. Unfortunately, I did not experience any pros during my time there. Everything was downhill from the start and I vehemently regretted accepting the job offer there

Cons

My onboarding experience was atrocious! They don't automatically send you computer equipment like normal companies, instead, you have to order your own equipment and then go through this month and a half long approval process that is complete lunacy! For a technology company that sells computer equipment they should be really embarrassed! My entire time working there, I never received my computer equipment and ended up buying my own. When I questioned management about it, they acted as if I was being a spoiled brat. Long-term how can anyone complete their work without simple equipment like a monitor, mouse or keyboard? A few weeks or a month at most is one thing, but once again, as a computer company they should be ashamed. Training and coaching was completely non-existent There was no real overview of current projects, tasks, or even expectations until 45 days into the job when I was chastised from management for "not asking enough questions." I was having a really hard time understanding what my role actually was and what the team actually does as a whole. We did not create campaigns or technically manage the retailer accounts.... so I was having a real hard time understanding what a day to day for us was supposed to look like. There was only so much "analysis" you can do when you are not fully managing accounts or creating campaigns. I was crazily micromanaged to the high heavens by my coworker who got promoted into management literally 25 days into my time there. She would constantly email me and zoom chat me about updating her on what I was doing and what I was working on. She questioned my lack of "asking questions" as if I was remedial, when really my learning style is to absorb what I'm doing and then ask questions when I have it down pact. I had no real time to learn and was just thrown into things. It really was super uncomfortable having her breathe down my back as if I'm a child. I knew this was not the company for me after 45 days in when she and the manager that hired me, sent me what I felt was a threatening email about their "expectations" and how in 30 days I was expected to fully meet the expectations they set. What kind of company pressures new employees like that without adequate training? I immediately started looking for jobs right after this! It was a really horrible experience from start to finish and by the end of my 3rd month I gave my notice

Good but dying company

Pros

- Great set of co-workers. - Pay is in-line with SV area, but they are looking to reduce costs by hiring folks with limited experience. - Most of the products are high quality, stuff you can be proud to work on.

Cons

- No growth plans. The company is poised to shrink 10% a year forever, or until sold-off. - Assume layoffs of 5 to 10% of the organization every year. - Management more interested in politics and appearances than business. - very top heavy, way too many VPs and directors. - The website is embarrassingly bad.

Hi and thank you for your review! We do have amazing people, and thanks for taking a moment to appreciate our benefits, and products. I am bummed to see that you would not recommend HP, especially since you've been here for a while now (congrats on the 10+ years!). ~ Madalina Antohe, Employer brand & digital media leader
