HP Inc. reviews

Many penny wise and pound foolish decisions being made every day. Executive management doesn't really understand that in a services business the first and foremost thing is having people that can deliver. Decisions such as firing all the work-from-home workers to improve "collaboration" when HP was the one that sent them home by closing their offices doesn't inspire people to provide service excellence. You get service excellence by treating people honestly and fairly, make decisions that make sense that they understand, and compensate them appropriately when they do provide that excellent service you desire.

HP has shown an increasing inclination towards outsourcing work to 3rd party houses or their China campus. Many jobs are being sent overseas while qualified Americans are being caught up in "workforce reductions". There is no stability in HP. In the 10 years I was there I went through multiple restructures and mass layoffs. HP has a tendency to alternate between contracted labor and permanent employees with layoffs in between. If you are contract, be aware there is a forced 3 week unpaid shutdown during Christmas. If you are perm, be aware that if you are caught up in one of HP's workforce reductions, there is a strict no-rehire policy. In my case, HP just purchased a new campus in Spring TX and was preparing to move to the new building. We were all assigned desks and I actually bought a house and moved my family closer to the new campus. Two weeks before the building move a large group of us were "reduced". We had all been given excellent reviews, the budget seemed fine, and the reason given was a need to "refresh the talent pool". We were given a severance package and 60 days (during a forced holiday shutdown) to find a job within the company. Since most of us were unable to obtain new positions that quickly especially during a forced shutdown, we are no longer able to work at HP either as contractors or permanent employees with no timeline restrictions. Take caution if moving your family!
