      Less spreadsheet management and more strategic thinking would be nice...

      Pros

      Work colleagues are predominantly intelligent, creative, competent, personable people to work with. There is very little "office politics". Work/life balance is what you make it. Salary is excellent by local standards.

      Cons

      The relentless focus on controlling both fixed and discretionary expenses, seemingly to placate Wall Street at any cost, underpinned (particularly in the US) by a pervasive fear of dismissal or demotion, drives all levels of management towards extremely conservative, low-risk, short-term, return-oriented decision making. Long-term strategic planning is non-existent.

      Good to see life in an established company with a mature product - Co-op/Intern perspective

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It was great to work on a product that was useful, and used by a wide range of excellent companies. Getting involved with a wide variety of networking protocols is a great experience. Although the product is mature and changes are constrained by previous versions, testing was a little bit less so. In the time I was there (8 months) there were some significant changes made or planned to the testing process, some of which came from the Test Engineers as well as the managers. The coworkers are great, especially the team I worked on.

      Cons

      Working on a mature product meant that there was little room for creativity. The improvements and changes were constrained by the previous iterations. This applied to the testing as well, although less so.

      Pros

      Good salary and benefits,. Still a lot of people with hp way in mind.

      Cons

      Kind of lost their way a bit after they split from HP. Although I hear that things have got a bit better now they are out of the protracted transition.
