Pros

Brand Value is Good. If the manager and team are good you can expect a good work-life balance.

Cons

Working in some teams is really tedious and some managers are just focused on updating high and unrealistic goals to upper management and least bothered about the employees. Freshers are not given proper and rigorous training (as so many things on which you work here are very specific to HP) Though they say HP is very good at the work-life balance that's not the case in every team.

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.
