Pros

· One of the few teams that are offered remote work some days a week and flexibility in that way. It depends on the manager and the team. · Your work schedule is respected. I have never been asked to stay over time and for exceptional occasions they've asked for volunteers which have been very well compensated for the extra hours. · Great company if you are planning or having a family. Lots of flexibility in that aspect. · Very good team. Relaxed environment. · Pretty good union · Ticket restaurant (depending on the team) · Good amount of holidays

Cons

· Carreer stopper for some roles (depends on the position) · It takes AGES to see any impactful work being applied. Too many parts of the business with a say in most decissions. · Looking back it has been very hard to add valuable work to my work portfolio after 2 years · Extremely hard to get a pay-raise. Negociate well in the beginning or you might need a competitor's offer on the table to force a salary raise (american company = american policy). · HR not very helpfull. Careful when being recruted. Make sure they will put every condition down on your contract so you're not fooled. · For the online business in Barcelona there's not reduced work schedule in the summer (it gets compensated with more holidays). · Far from being ahead in web technologies.

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.
