Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Learned some interesting products. Developed in a new programming language. Met some interesting coworkers. Minimal raises. I worked at HP before. HP today is another large, faceless corporation that focuses on products and treats its workers as an expense. Saw a lot of product being off-shored.

Even though I was a software engineer in test, my manager did not understand what I did on a daily basis. He had me keep a daily log of what I worked on during the day. Many Thursdays or Fridays, he would ask for volunteers to work over the weekend. My manager yelled at me on multiple occasions.

Your employees are important too. Based on how I was treated at HP, I rarely consider purchasing an overpriced HP product anymore. If you want me to "voluntarily contribute" to HP PAC, then you will need to increase my pay so I have money left over at the end of each pay period.
