Pros
Good co-workers who try their very best each and every day to orders from managers, directors and VP's who have no clue what is really going on and actually refuses to act on problems. They will do an annual Voice of the Workforce survey, create a bunch of committees and sub-committees to address issues, present the results up the chain and in return, a good talking from above with no action.
Cons
Guidance from Senior Managers and Executives who have no idea what is going on. Good example, their Channel Program is a disaster. They claim how good it is. Interview the owners of Channel Partners and you will hear the truth. HP will also recruit young college grads with promises of careers. Don't buy it. They use them and burn them out because they know there are more outside the door who needs a job. HP has an unwritten policy... "no more than 5 years out of college OR less than 5 years experience" in order to get around any sort of age discrimination.
