About HP
What is HP?
HP Inc. is an American multinational information technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California. The original Hewlett-Packard was founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard; HP Inc. is the personal-systems-and-printing entity that emerged from the 2015 separation of HP into HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). HP Inc. designs and sells personal computers, displays, printers, 3D-printing systems, peripherals, and managed-print services for consumers, SMBs, governments, and large enterprises worldwide.
HP trades publicly on NYSE as HPQ and employs around 58,000 people across hardware engineering, software, supply chain, sales, services, and corporate functions globally.
Where will I work?
HP is hybrid-by-default with major hubs in Palo Alto (HQ), Spring (TX, near Houston), Vancouver (WA), Boise (ID), Singapore, Bangalore, Barcelona, Tlaquepaque (Mexico), and many other global sites. Hardware-engineering, lab, and manufacturing-adjacent roles are typically onsite or hybrid; corporate and software roles support broader hybrid arrangements.
What is the HP team like?
A mature engineering and operations organization with deep institutional knowledge in hardware design, supply-chain logistics, and printing/imaging technology. Software, services, and AI/ML teams continue to grow.
