Hewlett-Packard Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I can't advise too much in this regard in that I worked under the umbrella of HP as a contractor for over a year before they reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to transition to a FTE position. All I can offer for those of you who find yourself in this position is to work your butt off and have a true commitment to delivering a quality product.

Negotiation Details – I calculated what I was making as a contractor, added in estimated "markups" for the various layers in my contract that was made up of other subcontractors, and then marked it down slightly to represent my requested salary. It was a whole lot more than I would have expected that I could ask for, but I did and they didn't blink an eye.

Interview Details – Applied Online through HP Website, received a phone call from the IT manager a week or two later asking me to come for an interview, after the interview got an offer the same day.
Interviewer was very friendly and we spent more time getting to know each other than over my resume. I showed knowledge in recent events in regards to HP and that added value to the interview in my opinion.

Negotiation Details – Didn't negotiate, was happy with the offer

Interview Details – Phone screening interview with HR, phone interview with hiring manager, on-site interview with group

Negotiation Details – No room for negotiation

Interview Details – It was nice interview about 2 hrs with 4 people each one for 30 mins, also the people who interviewed me were good.
All went good .

Interview Details – Initial screening by HR rep to check qualifications. Then a second screening interview with hiring manager. Then phone interviews from a team of five; marketing and engineering. Interested in qualifications; asked some specifics about technology to ensure I knew the details. Some behavioral questions. Then finally an onsite interview with the Engineering manager. Quick decision after that and an offer was extended.

Interview Details – I initially applied for a series of positions at HP after attending an on-campus career fair in September 2012. Over the course of the 2-3 months I received rejection letters stating positions I had applied for had been filled. Until January 2013 when I received a phone call from a recruiter stating that they feel like i would be a good fit for the position.

I had a very brief phone interview with the recruiter the next day... asking general questions pertaining to my strengths and salary preference. I was later recontacted for another interview with one of the Analytics team members.

The phone interview with the Analytics member lasted almost an hour, and went very well... She stressed that she truly enjoyed the interview and that my recruiter would be in touch

*Note: My recruiter stayed in contact throughout the whole interview process, assisting me with any questions I had, and also telling me how well the interviewer rated me.

My last interview was with the hiring manager, this was a fairly simple phone interview. It was alot of restating answers to previous questions asked throughout the interview process. I also had the privilege to ask questions about the position. This is where I made a difference, I made sure I had several questions prepared for the hiring manager that displayed my enthusiasm in the position.

Negotiation Details – There really wasn't a negotiation phase, I had an idea of a good salary coming straight out of undergrad, and HP's offer was well above the average starting salary for newly graduated hires.

Interview Details – First round ,telephonic interview
Very generic questions
Tell me about your self
Why this position

Interview Details – I interviewed with HP in El Paso, Texas. It was a complete waste of time. they offer between 35 to 45,000 a year for programmers here in el paso. there is no training or any real support to help develope your skills.

Reason for Declining – no worth it

Interview Details – Position was an internship with software engineering. Started with online application and phone screen. Several part interview, asked technical questions about computer architecture, object oriented programming and software design principles, data structures, and math. Behavioral part involved describing how problems with co-workers in school/work were handled. I was expecting most of these things, it was pretty similar to interviews I've had at other large tech companies.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation, they had set pay rates depending on your years of progress towards degree.
