Pros

-Smart Employees who are willing to cooperate to get the job done. -Hewlett Packard Legacy of respect for the individual still exists at least within the rank and file workers. - Good work life balance.

Cons

- Compensation and rewards are narrowed to the few rather than distributed widely and equitably (e.g. executive bonuses can be 25% while employee bonuses are less than 3%). - Long history of layoffs (especially in the US) with employees hired back as contractors to avoid having to pay benefits. - Management's answer to slow growth is to reorganize (again and again) rather than to fix the core of the problem.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
