Pros

- Lots of great experience and terrific people to work with - business operational departments are excellent - some fantastic managers who really care about work life balance and endorse a culture of respect - decently challenging and meaningful work - some terrific people overall - fantastic tuition reimbursement

Cons

- trying to cost cut its way to greatness as a business strategy starting with employees based on what I saw the last few years I before I left for another company - promotional opportunities and salary increases highly lacking - benefits steadily cut - many "old timers" from the HP days. However, the company they remember doesn't exist anymore and nostalgia won't get the business to where it needs to be. - HR is not only terrible at providing employee support but on the forefront of endorsing mediocre benefits, lack of salary increases, no promotions and layoffs from the years that I was there.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
