"I had the pleasure working for the largest producer of computer hardware for over 24 years. It's been a pleasure and I have learn so much that carries over to almost any type of business."

"I worked for HP in Barcelona, Spain for 2 years. It was a great experience that helped me develop professionally and personally. HP culture is one of the best things about working there. Also, the people on every team are always helpful."

"I have worked for HP for 19 years in various technical lead roles. HP is an innovation company and uses its talents to push the envelop in various technologies. The culture is well regarded and they take good care of their people."

"I've worked for Hewlett-Packard, later HPE, in Germany from 2012 to 2016. Big tech company with many opportunities. However, management was inefficient and processes were complicated. I spent most of the time filling out internal forms for travel approvals - I worked as a consultant. However, HP provided a low-pressure environment, which made many of the employees very happy."

"I've found it to be a good company to work for."

"I started working for Hewlett Packard in 2010 and held my position for almost five years, but it was a grueling five years. We changed CEO three times and my direct manager was changed four times, so it was very unstable. I was fortunate to survive two mass layoffs, but the third one finally got me; because Meg Whitman decided to lay off 50,000 employees and split HP into two entities. In reality, I LOVED my job and I LOVED my experience at HP; because I learned SO MUCH as I had to do the job of others as they left or were pushed out. It is unfortunate that I had to leave but the irony is that they laid me off along with my manager and everyone else as they off-shored our work to India. It is a classic repeat of what went down at eBay under Meg Whitman, so pay attention to history because it all starts at the top."

"I served as a contract recruiter for HP’s robust Printing and Personal Systems Americas organization. PPSA is a $65 billion annual revenue business that includes personal computers, technical workstations, printers, graphics solutions, managed-print services and internet services. I filled positions for S/W Engineering, Hardware, Mechanical Design, Product Marketing/Management, UI/UX and special project roles for the CTO's office. Locations: Palo Alto, CA - Vancouver, WA - Corvallis, OR - San Diego, CA."

"HP is not a great place to be right now. Too many transitions and layoffs. The people there are amazing. The management and how they treat people is sub par."

"I have worked for 8 months for Hewlett Packard. Due to a down sizing of the company, I was one of the employees that was let go. However, I did learn a lot working for them in the short time I was there from their enrollment and their billing system, work with the developers on defects and changes to the system prior to going to production."

"I am working with HP for the last 11 years and found it to be a very strong Process Oriented company. The Employee is always rewarded for his performance. Since, the company is a Multi-National, you need to stand apart to make yourself visible to the Management."

"Working for HP since 2012, I found that HP is a nice place to start off your career and probably finish it. But recently budget cuts have spoiled the fun in the office and even tampered with employee benefits."

"I've worked for HP since 2010. It is a good place to work. Remote work is an option. The benefits are good and the employees are knowledgeable."

"On October 6, 2014, Hewlett-Packard announced plans to split the PC and printers business from its enterprise products and services business. The split is expected to close by October 2015 and will result in two publicly traded companies: Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and HP, Inc. I worked for HP for 15 years and needless to say, this company is definitely going through some changes right now."

"It's a large stable company and acts like a large stable company. It has great people in the groups I've worked with and you get to work on important systems."
