What they want

HP people live for the big idea. The next great discovery. The new way of being. To us, “Invent” is more than a word. It’s who we are. The very soul of our organization.
Everything we do, we do to make technology more practical, usable, and valuable to our customers.”

That is why everyone at every level in every function is encouraged to have original ideas, to express them and to share them. We believe anything can be achieved if you really believe in it, and we will invest in your ideas to change lives and working practices.” More
