Pros

- secure employment as compared to other jobs in Spain - well paid as compared to Spanish companies (mediocre compared to international companies) - getting to know many many new people (especially as part of the Graduate Program) - own PC (sometimes cell phone) - chance to work from home from time to time (depending on position) - many recreational facilities on site + loads of volunteering programs - looks excellent on the resume - international environment - great place to network - great place to start a career and try different departments (marketing, finance, SC etc.) - good work-life-balance (especially for Spain) - great place to work if you are in R&D

Cons

- super bureaucratical; (read - 50% of work time will be jumping bureaucratic hurdles, sending emails to clear up problems that should not even exist) - ZERO support from HR in most things you will need - career development non existent -> mainly depends on your own contacts and luck as to when certain positions are open -> also means that there is no straight career path (finance, marketing, supply chain management might all be part of the deal) - very narrow job description - work is usually very repetitive - office (depending on which building you are in) is not nice (plenty of problems with air condition, freezing cold meeting rooms, internet etc.) - no real goals from management (different event, same speech everytime "we are the best but we have to be better, provide more service, do the best for our customers) -> in the end it is about "using our market position to make customers pay premium (read unjustifyable) prices", save costs (read freeze travel and cut jobs and screw over employees in new positions) - most jobs communicate a lot of firm specific skills, nothing you could transfer to other companies (on average there is one interesting job out of every 20 or so)

Hello and thank you for your review! I’m glad to hear you appreciate our work environment, the different programs we have on site, and our employees! I am sorry to hear your opinion about HR support, and that we do not have career opportunities. We do have programs in place to make sure we recognize our best employees, and that we’re providing options to advance in their careers. We also have a lot of training opportunities that provide employees the chance to build or develop transferable skills, that they can use in their current and also future jobs. I am sorry to hear about your experience, and we will take the necessary steps to make sure we provide more visibility into these programs, and ensure our employees are taking full advantage of them. ~ Madalina Antohe, Employer branding & digital media leader

Pros

- If you don't want to work too much, it's perfect as once's your in no one will fire you. As they say "It doesn't look good to fire" - Amazing benefits and facilities - It's a big company with nearly unlimited resources - You can live good life - If you're in Marketing (and not a contractor) you'll be good (technical positions are low valued)

Cons

- When one of my colleagues got an offer from another company and talked with his manager at HP he literally told him "HP is not a place for XX people like you". - HP way. It looks amazing from the outside but when you dig in a little bit you see the true meaning of those words: if you need to destroy someone's career or reputation or become friends with... in order to get promoted, then do it. - Socialization matters more than good job. - If a colleague is not working and delays a project, you'd better not ask your manager to encourage him to work better as you will get bad reputation for it and probably won't get your bonus. - If a manager is not doing a good job and all this team leaves the team (it has been a real situation), he is seen as a hero and gets promoted. - Technical people that don't do their job, get promoted to managers. - Most manager don't know how to manage people. - Really tight deadlines for project development so they prioritize time over quality. - If there are two candidates applying for the same position and one is family of friend of, even if the other candidate is the perfect person for the position it will not be hired. - There are entire families working on the same departments. - Too many managers: there are more managers than technical staff and even what they call 'people managers' without 'people' - Too many people that leave their work to 'their' contractors, do nothing and get awarded for it. - Too many managers and 'colleagues' unscrupulous who don't mind step over you to be promoted. - After asking for the action the company does to keep good professionals, I was told there was nothing of the sort. - After someone from HP international went to the offices in late 2017, engineers' salary was increased by 30% as is was way under salary range.
