Pros

Some managers are incredibly supportive of the effort to move software practices into the 21st century. If your manager is one such, you have a lot of opportunity to help define the technology stack of your upcoming project. In general, everyone up to C-level management is supportive of innovation and modernization. Top-notch benefits.

Cons

There are a nontrivial number of engineers (and managers) who want to continue building software using the same tech stack and engineering process that they were using in 2007. Their reactions range from dismissive to condescending when confronted about modernization. This ranges from using modern technologies like spring-boot to using modern development practices like code reviews and version control.

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.

Cons

More work than workers! But for me this is a "pro".
