Pros

Nothing to think about, except it's more of a semi-government organizational culture. It's a killer company for technical guys. If you're staying there for 2-3 years, then your technical career will be over.

Cons

Managers are mostly non-technical and they have no depth in technology, so it becomes more of a service-oriented company.

Due to low technical expertise at the managerial level, the work they take up from their US counterparts is mostly left-over work and fixes.

If you're serious about building your technical career, never join this organization (especially HP R&D). It's namesake R&D; otherwise, it's more of a service sector organization.

Due to its enormous worldwide presence, there's a lot of focus on process, which can create unnecessary bottlenecks if your focus is on technology.

Advice to Management

HP is a super big company, and it's too big a company for any ordinary guy to suggest or advise HP.

Anyways, one simple suggestion is to adapt new technology and stop creating unnecessary legacy codebases.
