Pros

401K match, volunteering opportunities, work life balance is okay - at times no work and sometimes it gets crazy with urgent issues.

Cons

No snacks or drinks, no cups to drink water, free coffee that sucks, bad cafeteria, lack of motivation since they are slowly shifting everything to Houston and Taipei. Biased management - they will have parties on other site but ignore Palo Alto. Salary hikes are joke (1%-2%), bonus mostly 3%, if company does well (which is rare) then 5%. Minimum internal promotions/growth - they just hire people from outside to be managers, lots of layoffs every cycle. Extremely negative environment to work in - all my friends slowly got laid off with no replacement.

Right now job security is a concern. There are frequent re-orgs. Managing operational details in a customer facing rolw.

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.
