Hewlett-Packard Reviews in Portland, OR Area

Pros
There are a lot of good, solid engineers that I get to work with. The lower level management seems to know what they are doing.
Cons
I am not compensated fairly. The upper level management seems to be completely lost. I watch them squander their resources to boost one quarter's numbers. Oh yea, and they cut everyones pay, even the people that were already earning less than they were worth.
Advice to Senior Management
You can't cost reduce yourself to success. Anyone can cost reduce. If you cost reduce you will only end up average. To win you have to Innovate. Bill and Dave understood this.
