Pros
Work/life balance, benefits, salary, managers, culture, purpose, human-driven goals, integrity, engagement, teamwork, compassion, health. Working from home for 5+ years has improved anxiety, wellness, and life balance. Not all jobs can be done remotely, but for those that can, it is a priceless benefit it itself to be able to be productive & undistracted. My team collaborates wonderfully all day despite the distance - they feel like family to me. I love the focus on improving the community. I love the integrity - HP actively fights racism, sexism, bigotry, bullying, & has been going out of its way (especially in the last 5-6 years) to continue to fortify its culture and create a truly diverse workplace. It's paying off. 15 years ago mid- to high-level teams were mostly Caucasian, and today, the teams I collaborate with at senior and mid- levels are culturally/religiously/racially diverse, gender balanced, welcoming, and always include differently-abled colleagues. I really love my job and with 20+ years at HP in many roles (at 3-4 levels), I know the culture well enough to state these things with complete confidence.
Kontras
More work than workers! But for me this is a "pro".
