    Hewlett-Packard Anonymous in Roseville, CA:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    You will get paid for work. Just don't expect above average as HP is a below average company.

    Cons

    The best reasons to work for HP are dead, gone, and buried next to Bill and Dave.

    Rather than figure out how to adapt to the new economy with new products, sales, and marketing, they just hack the wages by moving engineering jobs to cheap overseas sweatshops.

    Advice to Senior Management

    How much more money will you waste with the short sighted decision to simply move a $100,000 engineering job to a $20,000 Indian engineer?

    Time and time again, projects that move to India do not succeed. Why? HP is the bottom employer in Bangalore, which causes a turnover rate worse than teenage dishwashers at a local restaurant.

    Typically, 2-3 engineers are required to replace one US engineer. Their work ethic is different and they are on the make for a better job.

    Wake up and smell the curry.
