work from home flexibility
professional growth opportunities
some really excellent people to work with
interesting work and some opportunity to choose projects to work on

Cons

pay raises pretty close to non existent. Mgmt hopes same annual bonus each year keeps you happy

HP strives that each benefit be "market average". Average in every benefit = less than average across all benefits.

workload can be quite heavy. Nobody thinks twice of 6 PM meetings and some are genuinely surprised if you can't make a Saturday meeting

promotions seem very hard to come by. internal transfers almost always can't contain a promotion element because that represents an unfair advantage for the hiring manager. HP seems more willing to hire a stranger for the higher position than promote from within.
