Meg Whitman
Current Employee – been working at Hewlett-Packard full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Benefits are great, PEOPLE ARE AWESOME, so much talent. Worksites are enjoyable, work/life balance CAN be achieved.
Cons – HP is in a restructuring phase so it is hard to stay at HP for the long term EVEN if you are a high performer. Jobs just aren't secured.
Advice to Senior Management – Restructure and reduce workforce all at once instead of this phased approach. Very hard on the employees.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
