Review from Operations Dept
Their customer satisfaction is great
Be honest to customers. Honor a customers request. If I cancel an order due to extenuating circumstances, don't tell me that it can't be cancelled when product was coming from China & expected delivery was close to a month. Professionally refund a customer for product, policy, express shipping.

Enrique is a long-time HP employee and believes in people and the HP way. He is a careful and conservative business leader that does not take undue risks, but does support some investment in potential growth areas. Recently, he has been vocal about supporting equity, inclusion, and social justice movements. Overall, I have been very pleased with Enrique as CEO.

How's the work life balance at HP Inc.?
Top Employee Response
HP's culture is "always on".
12 hour days and the expectation of a response to emails within 15 minutes is the norm. Folks in Palo Alto eat lunch at their desk. Work-life balance is an area in need of improvement at HP.
Highly depends on the team. Every team has drastically different culture and reputation on this one.
What's the work from home policy like at HP Inc.?
You can do it occasionally but they like you to be mostly on site.
For sales-coded employees it's great. There's been a drive to get people back to the office, which is silly when all of your work is with extended teams at different sites. While the party line is that you need to come in to the office, some managers are more open to telecommuting than others and let their people work from home.
It varies by each unit

how formal is the interview process?
Top Employee Response
Depends on the location of your interview. Its formal in dressing wise other than that notvery formal The people given the interviews are not trained on it therefore they make up their own questions
I believe it depends on what position you are interviewing for. For me, I drsssed up formally while my interviewers are in business casual. But I didn’t feel overdressed and I got a feeling that I’d be underdressed if I didn’t do so.
It will vary depending on which group within the company you are planning to join. My interview process was very informal.
