Hewlett-Packard Reviews in Bangalore, India Area

Pros

good resources in terms of internet, research papers and subscriptions

Cons

lack of agility, employees have the room to become complacent

Pros

Work life balance, good learning, experience includes working with international colleagues, exposure to different cultures. Challenging assignments and projects. Good benefits, training, internal movement horizontally. Rich history, brandname and strong resilient background of the company.

Cons

Career growth opportunities are limited. Some teams have internal politics. Has a culture of over dependence on manager only appraisal, without taking in to account other other types of feedback. Salary is not benchmarked with the best in industry.

Advice to Senior Management

Have 360 degree feedback and appraisal, reduce politics in the teams. Senior management need to be more sensitive. Company lacks clear direction in 2011.

Pros

Good projects
Nice managers
Flexible timings at work

Cons

Should have a good road map for future

Advice to Senior Management

Keep going

Pros

open culture, Management by Walking Around, Great work life balance

Cons

career path growth plans need to focus

Advice to Senior Management

focus on the experieced employees and try to retain them

Pros

NO strict office timings(though few managers insist), NO strict dress code, Work environment is great

Cons

Salary sucks and HP does nt pay to existing employees and instead hires new candidates paying much above the existing employees.
Your career is defined by Manager, if you dont have a good rapport with him/her..he can even say u have nt worked at all since last 1 year and screw up at the end and you will be dumbfolded, since there s no proper system to track ur work and reviews about ur manager is just a formality and on papers

Advice to Senior Management

Have a transparent system which can assess the employee in the organisation instead of giving control to Managers. They are not gods to decide a person s capabilitiies. And also mind it there are a lot of inefecient managers as well

Pros

I am commenting about HP STSD. Good for people who want a settled life like Government job.
Diversity given importance

Very few challenges at work. Sr. management has built empire with its own people, others not welcome. All that matters is how connected you are in the organization
