Process
Talked to them at Career Fair. Had my first interview the following week, and they did a very good job at making me feel comfortable. They had someone in the hallway before the interview actually started for me to talk to and ask any questions that I had.
The interview itself was fairly easy, two parts that were both behavioral with one or two technical questions. It felt as if we were having a casual conversation.

Great salary for a new college hire!
Software Developer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
February 7, 2014
Pros: Great salary, benefits (especially the relocation benefit), brand new building, and total IT restructuring so great equipment and environment.
Casual dress on most days (jeans and a collared shirt, for example).
Young to middle-aged co-workers, great to work with.
Cons: A little disorganized with new building and ongoing construction (4th floor still under construction).
Very locked-down IT network. Forget remote desktoping to your home PC or SSH'ing into a remote server, etc.

Good old boys club
Software Developer • Former Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
July 7, 2019
Pros: The work is really interesting, especially with all of the new initiatives with the Autonomous Vehicle, ride sharing, and the new oncoming vehicle platforms. It is great to be part of such an ever-changing industry.
Cons: The managers are not that dedicated.
One of the directors spends half his time at a pizza shop he owns and takes you there for 'team lunches'.
It seems the more you socialize with the HP group, the higher you go.

Good Pay, Unstructured Growth
Software Developer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
July 24, 2014
Pros: Great pay, and work hours seem to be flexible. Okay benefits, and everyone has access to company cars. The reallocation package is nice.
Cons: Very unstructured, and everyone here is new. So, there really aren't many people to go to for help with basic things.
I'm fresh out of college. I want to be surrounded by people that can help me grow, not a ton of other college hires. Too many people here are lost and confused.
If they offer you a job after one interview, be cautious.
