"I've worked for HP and its one of the best places to work for for the leadership and vision."

"Amazing place to work for. I mean, staff are great and super open and funny while working and also aside from working. Days went faster than expected and never felt like, "Oh man, I don't feel like going to work tomorrow," It was always opposite than what most people feel about their job."

"I've worked for Hewlett-Packard for over 7 years. It's a great company to work for."

"Great company with awesome leaders/managers/mentors. They hire people from all over the world and from what I have seen everyone is so friendly and we have great team meetings."

"HP is a fantastic company to work for as a first job out of college. However, after a short period of time, it becomes quite apparent that there is very little room for advancement, and most higher up employees are more interested in keeping the current status quo instead of actually wanting to improve and innovate in the company."

"I've worked for Hewlett-Packard for 2 and a half years. During this time, employees have been fearful of work-force-reductions, and are forced into situations requiring us to work 65+ hour weeks. Vacation time cannot be used due to our workload. We're given used PCs for our work, which often break and are replaced with another used PC which breaks within another couple of months."

"I have worked here since late 2013 and I have enjoyed my time here. They have treated me well, but I am displeased with my current salary and the lack of time it takes to grow within the company (within my sector, at least)."
