Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Nov 2010 – Reviewed May 24, 2012
Interview Details – A bunch of hiring managers stopped by to talk with me, we had lunch together, and at the end of the day a few of the managers had offers. It feels like it's been a while since HP has hired people on, but this new way of doing things was pretty painless.

Negotiation Details – I didn't negotiate, due to the crummy market at the time (2010). I lowballed my asking price too, but they greatly exceeded it, so I'm happy.
