Pros

Ever since the HP/HPE split, I've seen a focus at HP that I haven't seen in 15 years. For the first time, there is a strong identity and razor-sharp focus on core strengths in the PC, Print, and Solutions businesses. The result is the strongest product portfolio I've ever seen from HP and the freedom from having to be all things to all customers. HP has a great legacy in the industry and Silicon Valley. It treats employees and customers with honesty and respect. It's a company that you can take pride in working for.

Cons

The famous "HP Way" culture has largely disappeared. The current culture isn't bad, just bland. Highly consensus-driven culture means lots of meetings and difficulty making decisions. Many product/projects are split between multiple teams and/or business units. In some cases, you have to go all the way to a senior VP or even the CEO to find a single executive with end-to-end authority. This can slow decisions and lead to misaligned incentives between teams.

Pros

Fantastically little manager oversight. I hate being micromanaged. Give me some direction and let me work. In this way, it is great. I contract through a staffing agency, who I also never talk to. A dream. Pay is good. Expectations are low (which could be a con for some).

Cons

There is really no manager guidance, and hardly any feedback. Managers aren't allowed to meet regularly with contractors. Very hierarchical. Super slow task initiation. SUPER slow implementation. Like a six-month to one-year dev backlog. Not a good fit if you're hungry and a change-agent and live to make work processes better. Did I say slow? I meant glacial. And tribal/political. And scrumfall dysfunction. Other than that, it's great.
