Hewlett Packard Enterprise

It pays well; my starting salary was $70,000 and I ended with $72,000 after 2 years.

The atmosphere is pretty relaxed; there is a gym and a ping pong table.

The work is interesting with interesting projects.

My coworkers and manager were friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Some of my coworkers complained that new hires leave too quickly, and yet I was let go as part of a workforce reduction at the end of the project. Most of my coworkers in the Chippewa Falls, WI office were over 40 years old and had worked there for several years.

Of the three recent college graduates on the team, two of them were let go (including me), so take away whatever you want from that.

Much of the software tools that I used were proprietary and unique to the team, so I found out that much of the work experience is relatively useless when finding a new software engineering job.
