Pros

- Great work environment. - Challenging jobs. - Many, many learning oportunities. - Great on campus facilities (sports premises, gym). - Unique cross-functional environment.

Cons

- Salaries are somewhat uncomptetitive. - Outsourced talent acquisition. - Young talent as contractor workers for 2 years. They are hired as HP employees proper or laid off with their 2-year intern-tax-bonus fully used-up. - No benefits for young engineers until year 3: no subsidized meals, no health insurance, no retirement plan, no credit card (if you are a contractor and you travel for HP you have to put up your own money in advance), no access to some internal resources/meetings.

Pros

Good working culture. It falls a little prey to acting like we're a family and not a business, but at least it doesn't pretend "we work hard, we play hard".

Cons

ELT and upper management have zero vision for the company besides desperately trying to pull up stock prices. Company continues to make deep long-term sacrifices for short term gains, that barely rise above the performance of our competitors. Benefits weaken each year. Example: CVS Caremark now handles RxD insurance, and CVS Caremark is incompetent and exploitative.
