Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 weeks)
There was 1 informal conversation, 1 formal interview and a final senior HR interview.
HP looks for articulate, smart, flexible people. You must be able to work on your own without much direction and be self motivated towards your goals. The ability to work in a global environment, with team members in all corners of the world is a must. Cultural sensitvity is critical.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 1 week)
The interview process was rather quick. There were a series of three interviews, which took just over an hour each. Each interviewer's questions became gradually harder. The questions covered areas in real world scenarios, leadership, quality assurance, teamwork, technical, educational, and problem solving. They were looking for individuals who are over-achievers, have high GPAs, are honest, and can effectively communicate.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Sofia (Bulgaria) (took 2+ weeks)
The initial process is to apply by sending your CV to HR. They may call you or not.
If they call you, HR set an interview up with the Hiring Manager. There are 2 interview to get to the final offer if you are going that way (to be accepted). For the local conditions, the management is interested on you knowing th HP framework (how come?) rather than your knowledge about the industry or the business.
The persons conducting the interview are not recruiters so it is rather a Q/A session than a assessment session about your profile, skill, approach to problem/solution situations.

Negotiation Details
The negotiation phase is straight forward but as in every business it may go down the hill if you ask for the wrong salary (too high) due to the normal pay bands for every job level and the fact that they may not affer you a salary based on your skill but based on the minimum skill they require to take the candidate. Certifications are valued to rate the salary as specialist or expert despite the years of experience so new comers can get higher salaries than employees with less experience and shorter carreer path in and out HP.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Pontiac, MI (took 2 days)
This position (for Customer Solutions Rep I) was listed on Indeed.com under the category of jobs at $40,000.00 and over. I applied online. An out-of-state outsourced HR rep contacted me and asked several questions and explained the hiring process. She asked what salary range I was looking for and I stated something between 35K and 40K. She states that the pay might not be that high but did not give an actual range and she did not indicate any sort of large difference between what I was asking for and what the company was paying. Several days later a hiring manager contacted me and indicated that the position only pays $10.25 an hour and includes all shifts, weekends, and holidays. She also indicated that they would expect me to remain in this position for a year and a half before I would be considered for other positions within the company. I was very disappointed and felt as though the job listing and first individual I spoke with did not accurately describe and disclose pertinent information about this position.
