1.6HP sucks, especially the ETD Group. Avoid job opening numbers 1317005 and 1286505!
Pros...
Most of the management has very nice cars, sail-boats, mansions, etc. You can get there, too, especially if money is more important to you than ethics.
Cons...
ETD group in Houston has openings 1317005 and 1286505, which I would avoid like the plague. 1286505 especially is what I would call a "galvanic anode" opening. Just as a galvanic anode is a piece of dissimilar metal tacked onto the metallic structure of a building or a boat's hull, to protect the structure from corrosion, by attracting the corrosion to this anode, these openings are there for the purpose of attracting the next round of layoffs. Protecting the long-time-there, job veterans, that is. 2 people in that latter slot have now been laid off, while the others (senior ranking engineers), always stay. The senior ranking engineers will keep it that way, by whatever methods they can get away with. The office politics there is the 2nd worst I have ever seen in more than 30 years in the EE business.
Advice to management...
Take the amount of effort that you devote to chasing money-power-status, money-power-status, and take just 5% or 10% of that effort, and use it, to instead pay attention to running the company.
3.4I've worked for HP since 1993. It has changed significantly over the years and I more focused on short term profits than long term customer satisfaction and innovation. On the user experience side, there are pockets of good design in the company, but on the whole it is an engineering company run by engineers. They give lip service to good design, but they default to technology choices, implementation ease, and features rather than design excellence. They only validate design with current customers so the HP centered paradigm becomes more and more entrenched in the approach. Even the new HP UX Architect role in HP Labs was awarded to a person that is not trained in UX but talks a good talk. Design at HP is on the whole headed in directions not favorable to designers.
3.5My 14 year adventure with HP, has been an exciting roller coaster. I have traveled the world from India, to Costa Rica, to develop call centers to support HP enterprise servers, racks, software and infrastructure. My career accelerated to back line pre-sales solution architect for all inside/outside sales and frontline SA's. This was a great opportunity to understand customer business needs and match custom based solutions and the right level of services resulting in high attach rates.
