Pros

Diverse workforce. Eclectic bundle of employee benefits - such as mental health care.

Cons

HP used to be a shining example of great culture in big tech. That is no longer true. Management is unclear if what the company strategy is or should be, which may be partly related to a nearly complete turnover on senior leadership in the past eighteen months. Over the past few years there have been countless reorganizations across the company when layoffs happening at each step along the way. With offices spread across several states, it is more difficult to collaborate effectively. Despite your team not being located in one place, there is a draconian push to return to office with very few exceptions. There is an irrational push toward AI at the expense of talented engineers and designers. All in the name of cost savings. This is likely going to blow up in their face. With more plans for significant layoffs in the coming year, I'd recommend staying away until things stabilize.

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.
