Working at Hewlett-Packard in Vancouver, WA: 8 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Vancouver, WA Area

"HP is a great place to work!"

"HP has a fundamental flaw in their hiring practices which brought me to leave them after 2 plus years. The segregated workforce serves no one."

"Really enjoyed the team I worked with. Everyone worked together as a team and the manager made sure we have the resources we needed to get the job done. I'm really big on culture, and I really enjoyed the team culture at HP. Everyone took the time to help each other out."

"Quick pace environment. Good opportunity for learning and career development."

"I worked for HP for almost 9 years and during this time I found it to be a great company to work for. HP's work environment is easy going until things get close to release dates and then it gets busy. The culture is great and most people are helpful. My only negative comment is it is difficult to move up the ladder without a bachelor's degree and so you must manage your career to reach your goals. Don't expect HP to help you very much."
