You can learn a lot at HP. The complexity of the work environment holds so many challenges and provides opportunities to explore, create, and improve. Everything can be challenged, simplified, and made more efficient: administrative and operational processes, communications, and information and knowledge sharing.
You can meet, work, learn, and get inspiration from exceptional experts who are pioneers in their field.
HP offers a great benefits package, and an HP badge can get you a discount almost everywhere.
There is good opportunity to travel, as the company works around the globe and teams are dispersed.
Employer-paid certifications are an option, but not granted across the company.
It is a matter of luck what kind of team you will be working for, as the work and growth environment depends mainly on the team manager. This could mean that training and promotion can depend rather on political decisions and connections than on personal skills and talent.
Hard workers are often exploited and left unrecognized, especially in case of frequent changes of management.
There is a lack of transparency across the whole company.
Invest in actual people, not in politics and blunt messages.
Provide transparency over every process and decision so that HP employees can feel as part of a living organism, not a rusty and inefficient machine.
It was long and drawn out, but very well organized and designed for selecting top applicants. It could be shorter, but this is a complex position to fill and can be hard to identify the correct applications.
Simple interview. As they already knew me from having worked with them through subcontractors, it wasn't very complex. First, one with HR and then, one with the person who would be my manager.
Very quick. Three interviews. Two Teams meetings with an L1 leader, one Teams meeting with a director. Mostly talking about yourself. It was informal, which was nice. I was early career though, so I don’t think this is typical of a technical position
