Pros

Excellent access to training resources.

Benefits are outstanding.

Cons

Salaries are extremely low (contractors make more than full-time HP employees).

There is no career scalability.

There is no mentor system (people only care about their own careers).

Corporate strategy takes care of itself first and does not worry about its employees.

Advice to Management

Take better care of your employees instead of seeing them as expendable. Invest in your employees, and maybe they will invest in you. HP wants you to be innovative, but then provides no incentive for such creativity. I worked 60-hour work weeks for 2 1/2 years for $40k a year, hoping my hard work would go unnoticed. However, I was not given any gratitude or compensation for my efforts. Take care of your employees and stop pushing all the good ones away. Also, stop hiring off-shore; soon nobody will want to do business with you.
