    Hewlett-Packard Senior Executive in Houston, TX:   (Current Employee)

    Time to GO!
    12 of 12 people found this helpful

    Pros

    Many talented, dedicated, and great people
    Great legacy to build upon

    Cons

    HP Leadership is the new Me Generation - a step above their employees
    Poor control - lot of waste, politics, positioning
    Revenue/profit metrics made at expense of headcount, quality, and innovation
    No focus/investment in future
    Bad bets - usually makes poor acquisition choices
    Good Bets - bad acquisition process - make numbers by brutal cost cutting - gut the asset/employees and milk the pipeline
    HR out-of-control: Talent upgrades replacing the best with inexperienced, empty suit, narcissists
    TOXIC Environment

    Advice to Senior Management

    They know exactly what they are doing.
    They are making their numbers and will leave in 1-3 years set for life.
