Somewhat of a mess at times

Current Employee – been working at Hewlett-Packard full-time for more than 3 years

ProsRelatively good work-life balance
Salary is not too bad, but not market value
Excellent co-workers in general

ConsNo real open door policy in use
Middle managers really need some leadership training
Many senior managers only playing the politics game
Micro management

With the continuing redundancies occuring things will not change if you dont make some of the management redundant!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
