Pros

HP has some of the brightest people I've met in the industry. They have good (not great pay.). There is always some sort of function to go to.

Cons

Lately, they have migrated towards mega projects in which younger employees get far less experience. It is leading to a much less competent younger workforce within the company. Everyone at each role gets paid the same. There is no real motivation to excel since you'll get the same benefit as the rejects.

Pros

This company has great leadership from Area Superintendents and above.

Cons

If the process is not learned in the beginning, then the construction portion may be more difficult because of how KPI's are reviewed.
