Has anyone been interviewed for HP makati?

[napster_0110]

Ey guys, has anyone of you been interviewed for HP makati..I really wanna get in, and I wanna prepare for it..My interview is on friday as a part of an IT group..whew, a\im a bit anxious already..

For those who have been accepted, how is it like to work there?

thanks, guys. :nuke:

[rychu]

Lucky you. I went through 3 interviews before. When I asked for an update, they said that I'm in their active pile. Saaaaaaaaad?!

Good luck sa interview. Be as truthful as possible and make sure you have many experiences regarding your work ethics.

[napster_0110]

really?! so i have a long long way to go pala..whew..hope i get past the first interview..

[sir_lee21]

may hiring pa ba dun baka meron reply u naman me

[napster_0110]

may hiring pa ba dun baka meron reply u naman me


i think there is...i applied as a walk in..i recieved a reply from them after about 3 weeks thru email..they asked me to fill in a form together with some essay questions..i already got a call from them the same day i send my fill out form...try mo lang..

[flare]

Do you guys know the address of HP?

[rychu]

It's in Robonson's Summit along Ayala Ave. near Paseo de Roxas

[xxtoyxx]

I applied early December last year, got a call for two interviews noong late January. And yun, after the interview, wala nang nangyari. I followed up and someone told me I am in their hiring pool daw, I just wonder how many applicants are "swimming" in their pool. Methinks I need a windfall of luck to be noticed kung totoo that they keep an active file. In my case, it is difficult if you are trying to shift career. I am not in the IT field, yet.

Anyway, God bless. Questions are mostly about how you work with other people, situational questions in your academic/work past so that you can showcase your potential. Again, God bless. :)

[Introvert_S]

Applied a long time ago thru their website, not expecting anything. Months after, someone from HP sent me a mail asking me to fill up the application forms so that they could schedule me for an interview immediately. I sent the forms but they never called. Kung tumawag man sila, too late na

[rychu]

@xxtoyxx, magkasama tayo dun. haha. also in the "hiring pool" daw. feel ko malulunod na ako dun. ang tagal e. hehe. oh well, i have a job na rin kaya bahala sila.

[xxtoyxx]

^ I am not waiting or expecting too much, I just wonder most of the time kung ano nangyari kasi I have a couple of friends there na at least twice a week eh nami-meet ko kaya lagi ko naaalala na "nagswi-swimming" ako sa pool nila. Hehe. It would be nice kung me mangyayari though.

@Introvert: Someone emailed me also to fill some forms up, so I did and minutes later, I was scheduled for an interview. Maybe you should resend your forms, with the complete email replies etc.

[cupcake]

Ako naman I applied on their website, then after a few days sabi nila naforward na daw sa HR *** application ko, up to now wala pa rin reply mag 2 weeks na. :sigh:

[rychu]

The thing with HP is that matagal sila magprocess ng application.

[xxtoyxx]

Ako naman I applied on their website, then after a few days sabi nila naforward na daw sa HR *** application ko, up to now wala pa rin reply mag 2 weeks na. :sigh:

That message is an automated system message, fyi. Hintay ka lang. Supposedly, matagal siya.

[napster_0110]

ganun din sakin..i filled out a form with some essay questions on how you would handle certain situations supported with your past experiences..i took my time answering them..kung yun din ang itatanung sa interview, di ba redundant na?

p.s. gaanu khalaga *** grades sa application?

hirap nga daw talaga mkapasok sa hp. =(

[rychu]

Grades play a big part. Usually, top 10 students of a course lang ang nakakalusot.

[IGX]

Question ko lang, New Grad ba kayo or with previous experience?
I also plan on working for HP in the near future.

May kakilala kasi ako who just started their. And the pay is good, but the work is something else...

[Introvert_S]

Grades play a big part. Usually, top 10 students of a course lang ang nakakalusot.


not always. I know a lot of people there na di naman topnotch students (pero di rin naman delingkwente) who got hired. Leadership in extra curriculars might count, but nandun pa rin yung luck factor para makapasok. Sa dami ba naman ng applicants...


I guess if you really want to get hired, try lang nang try, apply lang nang apply hanggang sa mapansin. They allow re-application naman

[Introvert_S]

I'm a little familiar with the kind of work that they do. It's IT support so it's not that technical compared to software engineers/developers. How do you describe their work ba?

[rychu]

Usually, depende sa department. Some departments really need software developers. Some department merong call center-ish work. I guess kung saan ka mapunta, dun ka.

I applied during our job fair in school. January yun. Then they called me last March for my interviews -- naka-3 ako. Then, wala na. Saaaaad!

[xxtoyxx]

Grades play a big part. Usually, top 10 students of a course lang ang nakakalusot.

Not true. Based ito sa mga kakilala ko dun.

[rychu]

Well, sa amin kasi ganun nangyari e. Maybe pag fresh grad lang siguro.

Actually, sabi ng friend, hindi nga raw. Pero actions speak louder than words. Kahit siya aminado na baka nga raw may pagka-grade conscious ang HP. Of course, nothing official.

[napster_0110]

thanks guys for keepin the thread alive..

i have another set of questions:

what was the first interview about? the second? and so on...how do they differ from one another?

are there any exams? you guys haven't mentioned any exams..so they must have based their assessment on one's resume, grades, filled out form, and most importantly on the interviews..am i right guys?

[rychu]

You got that right. No exams whatsoever. The entire basis are the interviews actually.

Technically, the interview revolves around the essays you answered and some more situational questions (where did you exemplify leadership...) The 2nd and 3rd are like that. I don't know after that since hanggang dun lang ako.

Good luck na lang! :)

[golfer_guy]

i think there is...i applied as a walk in..i recieved a reply from them after about 3 weeks thru email..they asked me to fill in a form together with some essay questions..i already got a call from them the same day i send my fill out form...try mo lang..


hi napster! good luck in your application at HP :)
what floor ka nag-pass ng resume sa robinsons summit? iwan lang sa front desk? or you have to give it personally sa HR?
also, what's your course? pwede bang non business course? i have experience naman in a call center..pasensya na kung maraming tanong
thank you..your response is highly appreciated :)

[napalmdog]

does HP hire experienced programmers that have a different experience than their systems? i hear HP has a SAP division. Pero im in PSoft but would want to work in HP. Inaaccomodate kaya nila ganito?

[Introvert_S]

dapat lang. Kung nagagawa nga nilang maghire ng Industrial engineering graduates na walang kaalam-alam sa SAP, yun pa kayang may experience sa IT support

[napster_0110]

hi napster! good luck in your application at HP :)

i can't remeber exactly where in robinsons summit, just ask the receptionistat the lobby...interviews are held at the 20th..

im an ECE grad..i dont think there's any restriction as far as courses are concerned, un pagkaalam ko..=)

hope i'v answered ur questions..=)

[Sharlene]

Should your course be IT related? I graduated with a degree in Legal Management, not sure if I could find work there..

[mullah_omar]

^shar, ayos ah sabi mo tatawagan mo ko dahil ako magpapass resume mo di mo ko tinawagan haha

[golfer_guy]

thanks napster! yes, you've answered my all questions :)

[mitsui2050]

Hi Guys, any updates? HP has alot of job postings in the net lately. can anyone please share their luck in any of the openings?

[Madgrunty]

Based sa mga friends kong nakapasok dito. Yung mga may leadership experience ang natatangap. Lalo pag student council officer, or head ng organization. Since dapat ganito ka para may maisagot ka sa mga essays nila.
May nagsabi sakin continous hiring daw sila. Some positions require night shift so beware.

[jeune_fille]

Malaki ang starting sa HP and dami nila benefits. Lam ko ang starting ay halos 30K pero cympre malaki ang tax. Ang problem is ur career path hindi nila gaanong naxplain

[gasoline]

My friend's sister works for HP. Dami nga compensations, nakatravel na rin sya to Germany a couple of times, andun sya ngayon. Kaya lang cum laude naman sya.

[Espoir]

Got an offer after only 2 interviews to join their ITO (never did know what that meant) team... it's a 9 pm - 6 am job that supports P&G SAP (I think) Systems in North America. Ok naman offer, between 28K - 30K (exactly in between). Turned it down though, but I don't want to go into that...

Anyway, interviews at HP are behavior-based, which means they will probe for previous experiences to know how you have behaved. This is based on a principle that people hardly change. So, knowing how you've acted before would tell them how you will act in the future.

[mitsui2050]

Hi how long did you wait for for the entire recruitment process to finish and the Job offer?

[bentumbling]

kakalublob ko lang sa swimming pool nila.

how long kaya bago maging wrinkly yung mga kamay ko sa pool na yun? :D

[rychu]

Hi guys, got in sa HP! Ang saya! So, like I mentioned, 3 initial interviews to finally dip in the hiring pool. April pa iyon. Then, by 2nd week of June, tinawagan ako for a final interview. Two weeks after, offer! Bam! Overwhelmed!

I just had to finish my time sa previous company ko kasi I was bound by contract and all that jazz. Last day ko yesterday and start ko na sa Monday.

Training in SAP/ABAP kaya excited ako! Salary is average for HP. Between 20K-29K. Pero, taxation in HP is different, mas malaki siya talaga.

[napster_0110]

Ang galing namn..from what school are you from?course?you must be on the honors..hanggang 1 interview lang me..I'm working in San Miguel Corp now as a SAP administrator.i guess i just have to be contented here...heheh..congrats man!

[auxes]

I'm working in San Miguel Corp now as a SAP

musta ba sa SMC?

Yup, ok yan si sychu. LGHS yan nagHS and ADMU pa nagcollege.

[pauster007]

Hmmm bias ata sa top 3 schools ang HP and P&G lalo na pag Atenean ka?

[Kolmogorov]

It's a common impression but I have a high school batchmate who studied in PLM who was recently hired by HP.

[sugar2578]

yung barkada ko sa HP nag-wo-work pero hindi naman sya galing sa kilalang school....matalino nga lang sya kasi dean's lister sya nung college....

[OliverWood21]

You guys keep on applying.. There will be a lot of vacancies in the coming months..

I suggest that you highlight not just your academic accomplishments but your leadership experience as well. These are ++ points for the hiring managers since HP has a very dynamic environment...

[gwaping17]

is anyone here from HP? can you guys give me tips of what to expect during the interview and what i need to concentrate on? thanks.

[carmichel]

is anyone here from HP? can you guys give me tips of what to expect during the interview and what i need to concentrate on? thanks.

Hello. :)

Just think of all your accomplishments and experiences, academic or otherwise. Interviews are behavior-based.

[2lits]

is working on hp a day job or a shifting sched.?

[carmichel]

is working on hp a day job or a shifting sched.?

There are day jobs, night jobs, and jobs with shifting schedules. :)

[Espoir]

Hi how long did you wait for for the entire recruitment process to finish and the Job offer?

If I remember correctly, less than 3 weeks. :)

[mitsui2050]

Guys, I just got an offer from HP. How is it like working for HP? Toxic ba? How is the environment? I have another offer and currently choosing between the two. Hope to hear your feedbacks ASAP as I need to decide by next week.

[spursdynasty]

ok daw sa HP. Mahirap maka pasok. Gusto ko rin apply dyan di naman sila nag rreply. Mataas starting salary. Great company. great perks. Non-Toxic work. Nice working environment.

Pano ka nag apply? what position? ano ba experience mo?

[mitsui2050]

Heard from a friend na mahirap daw ang work sa HP. Can anyone confirm? I have another offer but for a lower pay pero sure na tatagal naman ako. HP's offer is very good too good to pass up kaya I am having second thoughts.

spursdynasty, the position is for a support role but the details are still not very clear. Lets just say that I am very experienced. I applied through the internet lang.

[gwaping17]

Are you applying for SAP Support?
They say work in HP is toxic. But they've all the goods. Good working environment, really good benefits and salary, flex time, etc.
I say pursue that job, by all means.

[karl_dav]

mahirap dw.. dami OT.. d ko sure kung totoo.. Call center ba un? bt ITO support specialist1 ang position ko? nd *** not 28-30k?

[mitsui2050]

Guys, more inputs pls....

[xxtoyxx]

Guys, I just got an offer from HP. How is it like working for HP? Toxic ba? How is the environment? I have another offer and currently choosing between the two. Hope to hear your feedbacks ASAP as I need to decide by next week.

Pursue it, pero look closely pa rin sa other offer. Work is difficult accdg to some of my friends working there, pero I know the benefits and compensation, as well as the travel opps will be worth it. :)

I was interviewed there twice as I mentioned in my earlier post in this thread, that was January 2005. Have not heard from them until January 2006, asking me to resend my credentials (and be scheduled for another round of interview aain, perhaps)! It seemed to me that I have to start all over again. I haven't pursued it since I just got a new job two weeks before they contacted me. Oh well. :bop:

[DaNa8]

mitsui2050, grab the opportunity. Marami nag-aapply dito pero di nakakapasa. Consider yourself lucky. I assume you're single so OT's wouldn't be a problem for you. I was offered a job by them after 2 interviews in 2003. I was pregnant then and when I told them, the PM hiring me backed out since they needed me during the whole project duration. Sayang nga e.

[Kolmogorov]

yeah, grab it! wala namang bond eh,unlike accenture. Kung magsisi ka man di resign agad. Tapos kung tumagal ka then puwede ka na mag-apply sa singapore !

[mitsui2050]

Thanks for all the inputs.. I think I will be accepting the offer. However, my current employer does not want to let me go even if I already resigned but this is for another thread. Again many thanks.

[elodeon]

mahirap dw.. dami OT.. d ko sure kung totoo.. Call center ba un? bt ITO support specialist1 ang position ko? nd *** not 28-30k?

but the tax is hong-kong based, expect it to be around 15% only. so i guess, your salary would still be close to 25k

HP is good. i mean TOO GOOD. there's a lot of good people here so it's hard to shine. but kaya mo yan, keep rockin

[dmartian28]

san po pede mag apply? Can I apply online? :) What's the email or the website? and ano ano po yung job offer nila? :) ty

[rychu]

try going to http://jobs.hp.com

[gwaping17]

I got an interview after 3 months... Can you guys give an idea what to expect/do? Thanks

[pauster007]

May software development na ba sa HP? o puro support pa din?

[dysphasic]

it took me around two months to go through the entire recruitment process. but then again, hp looks at resume's from a manager's standpoint so there might be times when your resume is just sitting in the pool. i think processing time's a lot different for people who know what roles they want to do and get in HP and if they passed their resume to the right people or not. because from what i know, they really fit their employees to the available positions, so this might pose as a challenge for fresh grads.

[rychu]

there is development in HP naman. I think Java, .NET, and SAP.

[Kolmogorov]

just got a job offer from HP (after many attempts ha ha). May bond pala...

We have heard so many happy stories about HP. How about attrition? marami rin ba nagreresign? Meron bang sa inyong nabigyan na ng job offer but opted to stay in your current job kahit mas maliit ang salary?

[Ano_ni_moose]

Oops.. may bond ba dito? akala ko wala? o depende ba to kung may experience o wala? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

[Ano_ni_moose]

Btw, how's the work here for software developers? Laging on-call din ba? Kasi I have a friend who works there as data analyst, (not sure exactly what she does) but she's always on-call, HP provided her with laptop, mobile phone and other stuff so she can be reached anytime, anywhere, does this also happen to developers? Many thanks.

[gwaping17]

Ano_ni_moose
-> No bond. There will a commitment period be should you decide to go on training. Time period for which may be lessened if you do in-house trainings.

Work for developers, just like work for the others, is relatively challenging. Everybody gets/is assigned a laptop, personal phone, etc. The mobile phone is to be decided if your work entails being on-call.


Yup, there are lots of offers from other companies. Some people just effin love it here.

[bigbadwolf_pig]

Im working at HP...hehe

[Ano_ni_moose]

may opening ba ng developer jan ngayon? madami ba? kasi I'm planning to apply, mabilis ba ang application? kaso dahil sa badtrip na contract ko may 3 months notice ako before magresign kaya matagal tagal pa pag nagresign ako makakaalis dito. Ano mga programming languages na ginagamit? may java ba? I'm hoping to enter as JSE eh.

[gwaping17]

Yup, there are lots of teams that do programming (both in SMPC and RSC offices). Java is used, yes.

You can submit your resume online just browse through this forum. I think it's jobs.hp.com click Philippines.

[BlueTear]

goodluck sa mga nag-aapply!

had my first interview a month ago, then a final interview 2 weeks ago, and got an offer the day after... kakastart ko lang last monday (oct 16) and so far, everything is great here in HP... the compensation, benefits, perks, working environment, people, support structure, even outside work stuff...

one tip: if you know someone in HP, magpa-refer nalang kayo, i think that works better than online/walk-in...

and fyi: i think they're expanding so i think it's a good time to apply...

[Ebisu24]

Yep. HP is expanding. A lot of work is coming in, and not just for the P&G account but for other accounts as well. If you know someone in HP, have them refer you (you still need to submit your profile at jobs.hp.com), since that would make the process a little bit faster.

[Shemale_Lover]

can someone without a background in computers apply here?

as in no software programming background?

someone with a degree in management perhaps? or business?

[BlueTear]

^ yes definitely you can... i know some people here that doesn't even have an IT background...

[Shemale_Lover]

^^^^

thanks a lot friend

[fulgoso83]

Puede ba walk in? if so, saang floor? thanks!Ü:D

[BlueTear]

hmmm i'm not so sure about this kung pwede talaga, but if you want, give it a shot at the 37th floor, robinsons summit center, ayala ave. but i do not guarantee that... :)

[fulgoso83]

Thanks! I already submitted the application form in the HP website, pero gusto ko pa makasiguro kaya try ko rin mag walk in.

[BlueTear]

^ oh goodluck! all for the best :)

[gwaping17]

Hmm.... I strongly suggest have yourself referred (that is, if you know anyone from this company).

[anghel_che]

how long does it take for them to call for the third interview?:)

im done with the 1st and 2nd, then sabi nung nginerview they would call friday daw, but d *** tumawag...

[ako_pating]

^Baka dahil Christmas break na :) Sa Jan 3 na ulit balik-office ang HP eh.

[anghel_che]

o?...i tried to follow up nung friday, then sabi sa wednesday daw next office...:)

[apols_ph22]

Hello guys, please dont do walk-ins anymore. Try applying in jobs at hp site. Or you can send email here: joy.david@hp.com.

Goodluck in applying. Newlygrad and ANY I.T. background is welcome to apply.

I know there is an expansion this time of year! Cheers. :)

[annoying_bread]

oo nga I see sa jobstreet na ang daming postings for HP

[jensen83]

pass lang kayo sa HP hehehe *** sa ortigas ata mas ok e :D

[akira_jc]

hi! its nice to work with HP, my hubby works for HP as an ITO Specialist I... and matindi rin daw ang attrition rate. In fact, isa sa pnakamatagal sa HP eh umalis na yesterday for US. Pag migrate lang naman yung reason bakit umaalis yung mga matagal na sa HP, kasi good pay kaya **** no other company can match. Actualy, totoo rin na malaki yung tax.


Pag nagwork ka sa HP, para ka daw bumalik sa college. dapat ok yung KPI mo to stay and to get salary increase.

Pagka- hire pa lang sa kanya, regular agad wala ng probi probi. 1st day nya, he was sent for HK for a 2 weeks on site support and the rest was history. Nakapunta na sya ng HK, Thailand, Taiwan and eto nga papunta na sya ng Singapore...and still counting countries

marami syang benefits talaga...

1.travel....
2.14k plus/ year na reimbursement for clothing... medicine and rice subsidy.
3. HMO card for the whole family
4. AMEX credit card with unlimited credit line for travel... personal and work use
5. semi annual bonus, company variable
6. laptop for work and personal use (bawal limewire or other programs not approve, kundi tanggal ka)
7. DSL reimbursement monthly up to 3k
8. work from home up to 2 days

My husband graduated from DLSU and only 25 yrs old now, not a Dean's lister but he has good attitude for the job and well experienced in the field and ok naman grades nya.....

He is good at SAP, which he owes from working with NESTLE PHILS. and FAST SERVICES CORP. Now he is good at ABAP, RTCIS and counting... which he is gaining from trainings at HP. On site support sya and im proud talaga. all of you trying to get in to HP, don't be hopeless kasi my husband once flunked. 2nd try nya, tyka sya nkapasok sa HP kaya naman lahat parang worth it.

and totoo talaga.... HP is very particular with school. Sabi ni hubby puro ADMU, DLSU, UA&P and konti lang mga from UP, FEU and others. and pagfreshgrad ka as in walang experience, excellent grades and school credentials would be in lieu of experience.

Apply lang kayo, if you want, you can send your resume sa email ko so husband can circulate your resume to all HP Managers. Mga Manager din kasi mag interview sa inyo and magche- check if you qualify


my e-mail is dlsuchix@yahoo.com

[gwaping17]

^ Actually, contrary to popular belief, there are lots of UP graduates. UA&P? Not really.

DSL up to 3K plus phone line at 800++.

There are more benefits than what's written above. Not sure if I can mention them.

To all those in the process of application, especially the new grads, my best piece of advice -- just answer in all truthfulness.

[jensen83]

i don't think its 3k DSL and 800++ for the phone line.. it's 3k for both dsl and phoneline :)

and another note.. you shouldn't use the corporate card for personal use :)

and yes, mas madami taga UP sa HP.. then ADMU DLSU and others (UA&P, UST, etc.) :)

[cj_ababan]

akira jc: wow, we have the same position (ITO Support Specialist 1) as your husband but Boss Mark did not mention that I have a benefit for travel. hehe..

yeah, I know lots of UP people from hp.. actually, I heard about the great compensations of hp from a friend in UP because most of his UP batchmates were there. After a month of waiting, I was luckily given an offer.. I will be starting by jan. 16..
By the way, do benefits differ from different people from hp eventhough we have the same positions, of course salaries differ but how about the benefits?

[jensen83]

^ Yup, I think Boss Marc's team is not into much traveling :)

compensation/benefits is the same for those with the same position i suppose... it doesn't make sense if it doesn't..

[AbulugAdventure]

Hmmm, may preferred sila na school. Mahirap ito, kasi sa isang local school lang ako graduate (AMA Antipolo). :(

...kaya siguro 3 weeks na di pa tumatawag? :(

[Kolmogorov]

^may mga kabatch akong galing Meralco Foundation, Lyceum, and yung mga schools sa provinces so I don't think very particular sila sa mga schools. Well, at least, that's what I would like to think.


and yes, mataas ang attrition, shemps, IT industry ito. Yung iba di naman sa abroad lumilipat. Sa mga katabing kumpanya lang.


In my personal opinion, they will hire you if they like "the cut of your jib" ika nga. For those entry level positions, they accept even non-IT grads (may kilala akong Civil Engg ang tinapos).

Sa mga gustong makapasok, try lang ng try. Pag di nahire on your first attempt, search ulit sa web at mag-apply ulit hanggang sa mag-sawa ka sa pagpapainterview.

[AbulugAdventure]

^ Hmmm, kunsabagay di naman maiiwasan yun school preference, e. Or minsan siguro di sinasadya. Basta, the best.

[cj_ababan]

^ Yup, I think Boss Marc's team is not into much traveling :)

compensation/benefits is the same for those with the same position i suppose... it doesn't make sense if it doesn't..

hp ortigas ka ba? under what group ka?

[gwaping17]

i don't think its 3k DSL and 800++ for the phone line.. it's 3k for both dsl and phoneline :)


I get to reimburse ~4K for my DSL ng phone. Wow, then we must be lucky!

[jericholic]

Hi guys. I once worked for HP. Yep marami silang benefits. The only advantage I can see with working with HP is tataas market value mo and you would be able to get much better jobs in other companies once magresign ka dyan. I have to admit medyo mahirap work sa hp lalo na pag na-assign ka sa night shift. Contrary to popular belief, NAPAKARAMI ng mga taga-UP sa HP. In fact me lab yung HP na pinatayo dun sa UP. Mas preferred yata ng HP yung mga UP students . Pero don't lose hope, kasi marami rin naman ang mga non-UP students dun like me noon. Hehehe...

[AbulugAdventure]

^...as expected!

But sana maging bahagi ng kumpanyang yan, ehehe.

[akira_jc]

Yeah, you are right akira but you cannot blaim them for it is confidential.. But I know you just want to help.. But for me, it was a very helpful information.. hehe..*okay*

[jensen83]

yup.. it was quite helpful as well.. i just added something as to clear things up :) not meant to undermine anyone here... ;)

[Shemale_Lover]

thanks akira_ic

i'm gonna apply.

hehehe

[akira_jc]

yup.. it was quite helpful as well.. i just added something as to clear things up :) not meant to undermine anyone here... ;)

hi guys..... thank you for such an incredible understanding you have shown here.... anyway, may nag- pm kasi sakin and sya lang yung katangi tangi na nag- react sa mga sinabi ko here.... he told me that
" we don't earn by referring friends here at HP, so dont use this medium to refer friends". or something like that ang sinabi nya.... HELLo!!! my sinabi ba ko dito na may cash incentive sila by referring applicant?! ang sabi ko lang kasama sa PPR review nila yun sa TEAM nila hubby ko... malay ko ba sa Team nila di ba! and besides wala naman masama tumulong dito and mag- refer ng friends.... as if naman kilala mo yung mga tao dito di ba? you dont know who are cum laude's or mga pro na on their respective profession dito...


natanggap lang sa HP ibang tao eh na-corrupt na mind nila. di ko alam ganyan pala mag isip ibang taga HP daig pa mga managers kung magsalita... buti di na-corrupt yung hubby ko and thank you dahil sa magandang team sya npunta na puro mga humble and SUPER FRIENDLY kahit mga excellelent credentials holder


I reviewed the contract pala of husband to see if I violated anything by disclosing the benefits. AND I DID NOT VIOLATE ANYTHING!!
... it is clearly stated sa contract nya na bawal i-disclose mga manuals, company' prospective sales, tools, log- ins and anything detrimental to company yung bawal.... at kelan pa naging detrimental ang mga compensation and benefits? detrimental pa nga yun sa ibang company na direct competitor ni HP kasi it only means na matindi ang magiging attrition nila due to employess who will be pursuing careers with HP... yun lang..


sa totoo lang di ako nakatulog sa bwisit...:grrr:

and now... i'm free kasi nasabi ko na nasa loob ko....*peace*

[akira_jc]

yup.. it was quite helpful as well.. i just added something as to clear things up :) not meant to undermine anyone here... ;)


I know that *okay*

anyway, ingats and good luck sa PPR review nyo... anu *** post m sa HP? RSC ka b or SMPC?


sarap naman buhay nyo... daming coffee talks.... :rotflmao:

[akira_jc]

akira jc: wow, we have the same position (ITO Support Specialist 1) as your husband but Boss Mark did not mention that I have a benefit for travel. hehe..

yeah, I know lots of UP people from hp.. actually, I heard about the great compensations of hp from a friend in UP because most of his UP batchmates were there. After a month of waiting, I was luckily given an offer.. I will be starting by jan. 16..
By the way, do benefits differ from different people from hp eventhough we have the same positions, of course salaries differ but how about the benefits?


Hi! sabi sakin hubby di lahat ng team are into travel.... :( yung mga implementation team lang daw nag travel... pede mo rin daw kausapin boss mo kung pwede ka bigyan ng mga projects abroad... kung meron... God bless!:bop:

[cj_ababan]

yup.. it was quite helpful as well.. i just added something as to clear things up :) not meant to undermine anyone here... ;)

jensen, are you there last wed on our on boarding sa RS?

[cj_ababan]

yeah you're right.. dami ren pala tga dlsu sa hp, sa batch namin almost la salle at ateneo, konti lang UP..

[kickers878129]

curious lang ako kung *** thread starter eh natanggap ba sa HP? wala ata akong nabasa na tanggap siya or what..

[bongster14]

I just had an interview in HP RS last monday... they were two who interviewed me... they told me that that was counted as two interviews. They need to interview their applicants at least three. So i'm waiting for another interview... huhuhu!! i hate waiting.... i really really want to work in HP.. its for a long term career talaga especially kung sa SAP BASIS account ka ilalagay... good luck to me and to you guys out there..

[jensen83]

hehe, if you feel that you made it in that interview, you will most likely make it to the third. Almost the same then yung tanong kaya stay cool..*peace*

[AbulugAdventure]

Congrats, bongster!

[ako_pating]

i don't think its 3k DSL and 800++ for the phone line.. it's 3k for both dsl and phoneline :)

and another note.. you shouldn't use the corporate card for personal use :)

and yes, mas madami taga UP sa HP.. then ADMU DLSU and others (UA&P, UST, etc.) :)Ako i reimburse separately for the dsl and phoneline. It always gets approved naman :D

[jensen83]

^ pwede nga more than 3k :)

[heightdeprived]

30K? HP Makati? Pwede na, kaysa naman dito, at least diyan andiyan ako sa pinas ...

[jensen83]

^anong 30k?

[bongster14]

goodluck bongster14 :) tell us agad kung tanggap ka hehe! you'll probably see me sa orientation nyo ;)

thanks!! sana talaga matanggap ako.. that's what i really want and i know i will have a bright future in HP. finollow-up ko *** application ko pero sabi nung HR di pa raw sinusubmit nung naginterview skin *** papers ko so i have to wait. niweiz, at least there still hope.. :)

[gwaping17]

thanks!! sana talaga matanggap ako.. that's what i really want and i know i will have a bright future in HP. finollow-up ko *** application ko pero sabi nung HR di pa raw sinusubmit nung naginterview skin *** papers ko so i have to wait. niweiz, at least there still hope.. :)

Early last year, after having graduated, I was following up with my contact person when I have to. I ask, "When can I follow up again?" I ask the time and I call. If there's no feedback yet, I ask again, "When is the best time to follow up?" Just follow up by all means. Try to be nice by asking politely, saying thank you. Stuff like that.

[saintmichel]

paano po ba mag follow up?
nag apply ako sa hp makati sa 10th floor e. i THINK tinwagan na nila ako kaso i wasnt near my fone that time and i wanted to confirm/followup..

tnx :D

-myk

[c0re21]

wow! swerte nyo kung matanggap kayo dito... 3 of my friends are there at balak kong sumunod sa kanila.. libreng pa-laptop... biro nyo, after 6 months pwede na sila work from home for 2 days a week. sagot pa ng company ang internet connection (at least 768 Kbps) sa bahay at mobile phone nyo!! minsan, may sundo pa kayo sa bahay just to get to work...

[chiena19]

question po, gano po ba talga katagal ang processing after the interview? thanks:)

[akira_jc]

wow! swerte nyo kung matanggap kayo dito... 3 of my friends are there at balak kong sumunod sa kanila.. libreng pa-laptop... biro nyo, after 6 months pwede na sila work from home for 2 days a week. sagot pa ng company ang internet connection (at least 768 Kbps) sa bahay at mobile phone nyo!! minsan, may sundo pa kayo sa bahay just to get to work...


mobile phone? sorry dear...wala silang ganyang benefits sabi ng hubby ko... if ever, wow, bakit wala pa rin bagong phone husband ko na HP provided? and yung laptop...yep...libre sya... you have to use it for office works and pag mag work from home kja... but when u resign na... ibabalik mo rin yan.... libre yun dsl....yep...and the telephone kung nasan yung dsl account... but phone? baka inimbeto lang ng friend mo yung benefits na ganyan*peace*

[BlueTear]

About the Phone Benefit:

nah... hindi siya imbento nor hindi rin siya totoo generally...

It would depend on the type of work you're doing in HP... some employees have that benefit, some don't have it... it's that simple...

[Alter_Ego]

i must agree may friend ako na may phone benefit, at nadiscuss din to nung job offer saken

[gwaping17]

paano po ba mag follow up?
nag apply ako sa hp makati sa 10th floor e. i THINK tinwagan na nila ako kaso i wasnt near my fone that time and i wanted to confirm/followup..

tnx :D

-myk

About that, you can't follow up when you don't have a contact person from HP. I'm saying, after the interview/s be more ardent about following up. Of course you can't follow up if you still haven't been interviewed yet, right?

Regarding the mobile phone - it's true. I, for one, have the benefit (or not! :rotflmao: )of a mobile phone.

[c0re21]

yep may phone nga... globe plan 1200... yung isa sa mga friends ko dun na australian yung support may sundo pa every morning ng company car... i guess depende sa project yung benefits... but still...

[mtpe]

(deleted message)

[mtpe]

one month, more or less ang application process.

mas mabilis kung may referral ka.
para din mg follow up for you.

merong binibigay na application form
(i think nada-download s website)
prang essay type questionnaires.
mas ok kung ipasa mo na yun along with your resume'.
halos gnun din ang mga tanong s interview.

java, sql at sap ang applications.

sa mga nagtatanong, yes, merong mga new hires na hindi IT-related ang course nila (new grads).

hth.

[chiena19]

naku sana nga matanggap ako... *pray*pray* :)

[bongster14]

oh my! oh my!.... HP called me again for another interview... so pang 3rd interview ko na next week.... how many interviews ba ang kailangan before they give the job offer? kinakabahan talaga ako..... hirap kasi ng mga questions sa interview eh... puro experience eh wala pa **** ako ganong experience... hehe!! niweiz.. good luck to me and to all you guys who wish to work in HP. let us pray... pray and pray.... =)

Hi Guys,

Good luck to all of us who wants to enter HP!

I will be having my interview later at HP in RSC. I was able to read the messages here and the other thread and I gained a lot of information from the messages.

Thank you to all active contributors. Let us see what will happen next..

Cheers! ;)

[AbulugAdventure]

Dami nyan bongster a? Hehehe...

Sana tawagan na nila ako. Hehehe. *pray*

[AbulugAdventure]

Good luck sayo, sonic. :okay:

[qquixx]

wala pa din akong natatangap na update from HP

[BlueTear]

Hey guys,

Goodluck sa may mga interview! :) Keep us posted on how everything went okay? Kaya nyo yan! I hope to see some of you in RSC soon! :)

[qtbeby]

This thread is very interesting, especially since I am working for HP. Although there are some things that need to be clarified somehow.

With regards to the taxation being implemented, there seems to be a misconception that HP deducts higher taxes as compared to other companies. Just so everyone knows, our taxes are being computed in just the same way as any other Filipino employee. Others might think it is "higher" simply because higher pay means higher tax bracket. ;)

As for the benefits, all the other HP employees who have posted here are absolutely right with what they said. There are basic benefits, but there are also some perks that are dependent on the type of work that you do, take the mobile phone service for example. There are some that are provided with company mobile phones because their type of work calls for it. As for the opportunities to travel, I myself have been sent overseas several times for projects and trainings. Some may not have been given the chance to travel because the role that he is in may not require for him to do so. Simply put, these perks or benefits come on a case to case basis.

Regarding HP being very picky with applicants, I guess this would depend on the role that needs to be filled: bigger role means higher expectations. As for your credentials, it's not about where you graduated from, your GPA nor is it about the course you took, it's all about you as an individual and your attitude.

So all the best to all aspiring HP applicants! Hope to see you on the next coffee talk :)

[cj_ababan]

hi yah.... my bad. hubby said that meron ding mga may mobile phones na employee sa HP na HP provided but most of them Managers...something like that or yung kailangan talaga ng celphone like mga sales people. pero usualy ng dw wala...depende talaga sa post pero sa mga ITo and other post... wala silang mobile phone na company provided. Kudos to you bluetear and qtbeby for the info

[Needleman]

Mga taga-HP help naman... May tumawag sakin last thursday, sabi niya may interview daw ako. Supposedly bukas na yung interview ko. Na-mention niya yung date and time pero yung place hindi.

Sabi niya eemail niya sakin yung employment form and the details but up until now wala pa akong na-receive na email. Tinawagan ko yung number na naka-register sa cellphone ko, number not in use daw. Paano kaya ito??

[cj_ababan]

Ang alam ko pag support specialist 3 ka, mataas na yun eh, kami kasi support specialist 1 ***, entry level kasi ako eh.. ehehe.. Pero ang alam ko, pag experienced ka na, they will tell you to demand your salary. (Based from my officemates' experiences) Yung buddy ko, dinoble niya salary niya when he was asked.

Bluetear: Dev ka ba? anong bundle ka? Is it true na yung mga next hire, hindi na tulad sa atin na regular kagad on the first day?

[bongster14]

Just finished my third interview in HP RSC yesterday. same lang din *** mga questions... how i wish that was my last interview and hope that they will call me again for the job offer na... sa SAP BASIS daw ako ilalagay if ever... i really want to pursue my career in SAP especially in HP.... good luyck to us... pray... pray.... and pray... =)

[jensen83]

hmm, level 3 ka na? probably around 60-70k+.
if not, you've been taken advantage of. :confused:

[chiena19]

if not, you've been taken advantage of. :confused:


****? it should be 60-70K? hmmm.....:hmm:

[BlueTear]

on my own POV: level 3 60-70k? i highly doubt it... well it depends on what type of job you're doin at hp but for a level 3? hindi siguro...

[bongster14]

Haaayyy... di parin tumatawag skin yung HP after my third interview last week.. huhuhu!!!

[gwaping17]

on my own POV: level 3 60-70k? i highly doubt it... well it depends on what type of job you're doin at hp but for a level 3? hindi siguro...
Yup, lalo kung security guard ka. I think so too.
*okay*

[sonic_flood]

Haaayyy... di parin tumatawag skin yung HP after my third interview last week.. huhuhu!!!
Ganun ba. Kelan yang 3rd invterview mo? Ako nga din eh, 2nd interview ko naman last week wednesday AM. huhuhu. :mecry: Let's hope and pray for the best.. :confused:

[DaNa8]

on my own POV: level 3 60-70k? i highly doubt it... well it depends on what type of job you're doin at hp but for a level 3? hindi siguro...

So 60-70k is still steep a salary for level 3? I guess, it's not true then that HP compensate their employees really well.

[bongster14]

Ganun ba. Kelan yang 3rd invterview mo? Ako nga din eh, 2nd interview ko naman last week wednesday AM. huhuhu. :mecry: Let's hope and pray for the best.. :confused:

sonic_flood, last Feb 6 *** third interview ko.. up to now, la parin tawag.. lets just pray.. pray and pray.... to what position ka kinonsider? ako kasi for Jr. SAP Basis

[doomsdayer]

hindi ko na lang inaccept ang offer... ang baba naman mashado..i really expected something higher :-(

[gwaping17]

How much were you offered?

[sonic_flood]

sonic_flood, last Feb 6 *** third interview ko.. up to now, la parin tawag.. lets just pray.. pray and pray.... to what position ka kinonsider? ako kasi for Jr. SAP Basis
bongster14, ah ok. nauna ka pala sakin kasi Feb 7 naman *** 2nd interview ko ng morning. ako nga din eh, wala pa din tawag. huhuhu. hmm SAP Basis din *** mga nag interview sakin eh pero ITO lang alam ko na position na nilagay ko. meron nga ako kakilala na natanggap na nagstart kanina (feb 16) at *** isa sa march 13 pa. haaay. buti pa sila. gud offers naman sila. Let's do more prayers... Fresh grad ka ba o may work na now?

[sonic_flood]

hindi ko na lang inaccept ang offer... ang baba naman mashado..i really expected something higher :-(
hi doomsdayer,

What happend sa offer if i may ask? fresh grad or with working experience ka na ba? hay sayang naman...

[cj_ababan]

So 60-70k is still steep a salary for level 3? I guess, it's not true then that HP compensate their employees really well.

I don't think so. I know HP is one of the companies in the Philippines who compensates their employees VERY well. Salaries, as well as benefits are very competitive kaya nga kinalimutan ko na pagiging ECE ko eh, hehe. I think it depends on your credentials and work experience (I have a batchmate who has a pretty much higher salary because he is SAP certified. My other batchmate has an MBA degree in US). They are more on 'hiring-the-best-people' policy. As a matter of fact, they offered me a very high salary for an entry-level. :)

[bongster14]

bongster14, ah ok. nauna ka pala sakin kasi Feb 7 naman *** 2nd interview ko ng morning. ako nga din eh, wala pa din tawag. huhuhu. hmm SAP Basis din *** mga nag interview sakin eh pero ITO lang alam ko na position na nilagay ko. meron nga ako kakilala na natanggap na nagstart kanina (feb 16) at *** isa sa march 13 pa. haaay. buti pa sila. gud offers naman sila.

Buti pa sila may job offer na... i worked before as a technical support representative. pero i already resigned kasi sayang talaga yung pinagaralan ko nung college and gusto ko talaga sa SAP... haaayy... sana matanggap tayo... "think positive" =)

Ok, I was just reacting to the post above that says 60-70k is already high. That compensation is just slightly above standard for 4-5 yrs work experience.

[gwaping17]

The thing with HP is that you don't need 4-5 years work experience to get to a higher level.

[Ebisu24]

ITO Specialist III salary range would be around P40k - P60k.. may salary categories depending on the level of your role.

[Ebisu24]

A friend of mine also had her 2nd/3rd interview last week. She was informed that she already passed the interview and they we're just considering what role fits her current skillset. Same thing happened to me. After my last interview, it took about 2 to 3 weeks before I got the job offer. So hintay hintay lang mga prends. :)

Not sure about this one. Not sure about the "salary categories" you might want to cite examples.

Wow congrats Ebisu24! :)
Did you got a good offer? Did you ask you're interviewer if you passed the interview right after? This coming week will be my 2nd week so let us see what will happen next. Thanks fof the advice! *okay*

[Ebisu24]

Not sure about this one. Not sure about the "salary categories" you might want to cite examples.

When I "Salary Categories" I mean paybands. Even if you start as an ITO Specialist I, II, or III, you start off with a certain payband. 1 being the lowest (lowest band in the base pay range) and 5 being the highest.

[Ebisu24]

Wow congrats Ebisu24! :)
Did you got a good offer? Did you ask you're interviewer if you passed the interview right after? This coming week will be my 2nd week so let us see what will happen next. Thanks fof the advice! *okay*

Offer wise it was pretty ok. I had 2 years overseas working experience plus I've worked with P&G IT before for a couple of years (before they got transitioned to HP), so I guess the salary offer was more or less commensurate to my work background and current skill set.

The salary level would really be based on the role you are getting/being assigned to and what payband level they will assign you to.

Good luck!

[mitsui2050]

HP is a very good company but think twice or more if you are given an offer by ITO. Its shifting work and to be honest, the quality of new hires has declined in recent months. Other HP units are not shifting schedule and get more opportunities, so if you love your Saturdays and Sundays, Christmas and other Holidays ITO is not for you. (Also there is no Holiday Pay, they just swap your Holiday to for another day which I think is really not right)

But compared to other companies in the same line of business, this is the Best Company for me! Some units just have better opportunities than others.

[sonic_flood]

Good luck sayo, sonic. :okay:
Thanks Abulug! Good Luck din sayo!

HI Mitsui,

ITO is quite confusing specially for new hires. Lahat ng inooferan ng HP is ITO Support Specialist. Baka matakot naman sila pag naoferan ng ITO, eh lahat naman ITO Support SPecialist position. Iba't iba lang ng group (bundle). For me, pinakamahirap yung Development Team, lalo na pag me malaking projects. Kahit sat and sun me work, unlike Service Management,mas madali, lahat pa ng kita, kuha mo.. hehe (like premium shifts and stand by pay):)

[doomsdayer]

hi doomsdayer,

What happend sa offer if i may ask? fresh grad or with working experience ka na ba? hay sayang naman...

ni reject ko na kasi ayaw naman nila taasan..or bargain with it. i have more than 2 years working experience

HI Mitsui,

ITO is quite confusing specially for new hires. Lahat ng inooferan ng HP is ITO Support Specialist. Baka matakot naman sila pag naoferan ng ITO, eh lahat naman ITO Support SPecialist position.

Kahit sat and sun me work, unlike Service Management,mas madali, lahat pa ng kita, kuha mo.. hehe (like premium shifts and stand by pay):)

Im sorry, I did not know na lahat ng position is ITO Support Specialist. I guess the politically correct term is Bundle and area is Service Management. I do not know with you guys, but I would rather have my Weekends and Holidays.. Money isnt everything.. (This is just me peace :) )

[gwaping17]

Some areas of work in HP would require you to work on weekends. But you do that at home.

And I have my say when the schedule is drafted. Couldn't ask for more.

[manong_bert]

If you're someone who likes challenging work (yung mapapa-isip ka), be careful with HP, especially the fresh graduates. Try to know as much as possible about your work. Managers may provide vague descriptions which may sound appealing such as leading your row in projects, providing 24/7 technical support, etc. However, there are some jobs in HP wherein you would only be doing tasks such as uploading files and sending data, which are relatively easy tasks. Also, some roles in HP would require you to do almost the exact same thing each day, which some people may find boring.

Also clarify if your role would require you to take trainings which would have bonds. HP would not specify that they would bond you when presented with the job offer. You would only be informed once you're already in HP and they present you with your training plan. Bonds may range from 6 months to 2.5 years.

Again, I'm just saying try to know as much as possible about the job you're going to be doing. This is something you'll be doing every hour, day, week, month, and year. You'll just be depressed if you're not enjoying what you're doing. Peace!

[Alter_Ego]

It's really nice that we read this side of the story as far as these companies are concerned. Good thing I declined the offer, because I will definitely not enjoy doing the same work everyday.

[cj_ababan]

It depends on your job in HP. Hindi naman lahat pareparehas ng ginagawa eh.. That is why HP hires only the best people. They offer big to people who HAD DONE big. :bashful: Hirap nga lang magshine because lahat magaling. People are dynamic, multi-talented and young. On my part, I don't have a bond because internal yung training ko. Kahit kelan pwede ako umalis, but I think I will not. And the best part is, you are challenged to strive by yourself. Sobra nga lang expectations nila for you. Imagine, on my part, as a new grad and im an ECE, not IT, they are expecting me to be on-boarded in just 1 month. As in you should learn everything in a month. It's difficult but I take it as a challenge. For me, it is just a matter of perspective. If you want the challenge to shine against the top individuals in the country, go on with HP and prove yourself! If you are weak, then HP is not for you.*peace*

[gwaping17]

It's really nice that we read this side of the story as far as these companies are concerned. Good thing I declined the offer, because I will definitely not enjoy doing the same work everyday.

Talaga? Oh well, HP can't please everybody. Good luck to your jobhunting. Hope you get to find one that entails doing something different every day. :D


@manong_bert

I like to think that there are no small roles in HP.

As for bonds, that will be mentioned on your job offer. This part determines what bundle you'll be joining, and the trainings required for you to perform your job well. And hey, good thing I don't have bonds. This is optional should I want to get trained/certified externally, say Cognos or J2EE. The training I need for my work is also internal.

To be given the opportunity to work only with the best is one of the pros of working here. To those who are applying, good luck. *okay*

[manong_bert]

Unfortunately, the people in my bundle were not informed by our manager of the trainings that they were going to take. A lot were taken by surprise when they were told they would need to take trainings which would range from 6 months to 2.5 years.

"I like to think that there are no small roles in HP." - This is also what I originally thought. However, in our bundle, there are people who most of the time just upload files. Although we could see the importance of the work we do, I don't want to do something which could be done by anybody. Even a high school grad could do these types of work.

The quality of work is really dependent on the role and bundle. This is why I'm telling everybody considering working in HP to be careful, to avoid scenarios similar to the people in our bundle.

[jensen83]

^kasama ka ba dun? :D

[chiena19]

pano ba working environment dito? mashadong seryoso ba or mahigpit? how bout pantry or relaxation area and everything...

[manong_bert]

Unfortunately, kasama nga ako dun. The most irritating thing is that the job I was told during the job offer was not the job I am currently doing. You could say that the manager lied to make my work sound interesting. Furthermore, I was not the only one deceived just to be hired in this bundle. The other cases were not being informed enough about the job. Who would expect na bibigyan kami ng nakakabobong work sa HP diba?

[manong_bert]

Ok naman yung work environment. Hindi naman mahigpit yung mga managers, sila yung tipong pakikisamahan ka. Yung pantry masyadong maliit for some floors. Sa amin, mga 70 employees sa floor namin pero 10 lang kasya sa pantry. Also, HP has a big problem with regards to work space. Talagang magsisiksikan kayo lalo na kung tumapat sa day na walang nag-wwork from home. Hehe

[gwaping17]

Im so glad I don't experience any of that :D. So sorry for you.

[la_bamba]

hi manong_bert may vacancy ba ***** sa HP? thanks!

[manong_bert]

There would be an opening.. if i get lucky:lol: But seriously, I think there are still a lot of openings. I am not sure of the best way to apply though. Maybe the other PEXers would know :)

[chiena19]

hmm.. im looking forward working @ hp.. sana naman maenjoy ko at sana mababait ang mga tao..hehe

[BlueTear]

^ hey chiena19, you got in? :) congrats if ever!

HI Mitsui,

ITO is quite confusing specially for new hires. Lahat ng inooferan ng HP is ITO Support Specialist. Baka matakot naman sila pag naoferan ng ITO, eh lahat naman ITO Support SPecialist position. Iba't iba lang ng group (bundle). For me, pinakamahirap yung Development Team, lalo na pag me malaking projects. Kahit sat and sun me work, unlike Service Management,mas madali, lahat pa ng kita, kuha mo.. hehe (like premium shifts and stand by pay):)

I don't think anyone can really say that this bundle has much easier work than the other, because you can never really tell unless you've actually experienced working within all of the bundles.

Development work may be hard in a sense that you have to start from scratch. The pressure in development work is periodic, it peaks during SIT, BAT, and cutover. But after that, everything would go on as normal. Some people dig this kind of pressure as compared to the daily thing that is being experienced by folks from Service Management. But there may also be others who wouldn't feel comfortable in development work, and might prefer to take things one day at a time.

In Service Management, you deal with day-to-day business problems, which some people may not be able to handle because that is not the type of pressure that they want to be exposed to. Well, who would want to go crazy over business problems on a daily basis, right? :D But for others, this type of setup works because they feel that they learn the end-to-end business processes. You get to see the overall picture, unlike in development work wherein you are mostly focused on one specific module. Some people may have a misconception that being with Service Management is easy, but it's not. There are people I know from development who wouldn't want to be in Service Management because they know people from that group and they see how hard it is to face clients on a daily basis, taking in the pressure day-to-day.

Unfortunately, the people in my bundle were not informed by our manager of the trainings that they were going to take. A lot were taken by surprise when they were told they would need to take trainings which would range from 6 months to 2.5 years.

"I like to think that there are no small roles in HP." - This is also what I originally thought. However, in our bundle, there are people who most of the time just upload files.

The quality of work is really dependent on the role and bundle. This is why I'm telling everybody considering working in HP to be careful, to avoid scenarios similar to the people in our bundle.

It saddens me to hear that this happens in HP. I think this is where open communication comes in. Lucky for me, I get to discuss my concerns openly with my manager.

As for the "small roles" thing, I have heard of such things, like someone having to monitor something for his/her entire shift. If something goes wrong, fix it. If there aren't any problems, then well and good 'cause you need not do anything. Which can be a bit boring, as manong_bert would describe having to upload files everyday. I guess you just have to ask around if there are any better opportunities for you where you get to learn more and be more productive at the same time. Like joining our group, perhaps? ;) But of course, if you're just new to your job, then you'd have to wait a little while before you can get to transfer. By the time that your manager allows you to, then ask around so you get a clear picture of what is being done in each bundle to help you make the best choice on which line of work fits you best. :)

[grayscale06]

Can anyone help me please? I was just given an offer awhile ago and I'm still deciding whether to accept it. I got a position in a "new team", mainly handling database administration, for North American accounts (Canada, P&G, and the rest of US). ITO Specialist I only. 12/7 support. Training is for Oracle and SQL Server for a month. This is what I was told.

My concern is about the salary. It's an insignificant raise from my current one. And I have no idea about HP's salary range for the position they offered me. Does anyone have any idea what the range is? And do you know if it's ok to negotiate?

I was also given an entry-level position, as I understand. How many years of experience do you need to get the 2nd level? I only have a couple of years experience. But I am really technical.

And I really am concerned about those people who are only uploading files. They weren't told that that will be the exact job they'll be doing. How do I know if I'll end up uploading too?

And is it true that everyone in HP is assigned a laptop? Also, what about promotions? If, for example, a person is really a performer, will that person have the chance to be promoted in less than a year?

I'd really appreciate any kind of help. I know I have endless questions but I want to make sure I'll be making the right decision. Thanks in advance!

Im sorry kung Out of Topic:

Hi gwaping17, unfortunately in some bundles they require employees to work in the office for Saturdays and Sundays. Consecutive weekends pa and they have no say on the schedule. Wala pang aircon pag weekend.

I know that there is no perfect company pero pag nandoon kana, wala ka namang magagawa. In fairness, the manager may not have a full picture of what is happening because the Team Lead (TL) filters out some stuff.

Yung tipong the TL can go on call lang pag weekend (pero hindi rin naman matawagan) and then the ordinary specialist get to works their butts off.

Sana lang magkaroon ng lakas ng loob mga new hires to speak up about this because its unfair.*peace* Sana rin malaman ng manager ang ginagawa ng TL nya.

Overall HP is still the best! This makes some wonder for how long can HP remain or be one of the best place to work for.

Hi grayscale06, were you told that you will be handling multiple accounts? Were you told that you will have a bond? It seems you have a lot of questions.

My advice lang is make sure you know what you are getting into. You can do this by asking the questions you are asking in this forum to her (the manager who gave you the offer) :) . There is no perfect company and as you can see from the forum, opportunities and policies vary between bundles. BTW, yes everyone gets a laptop (nc series) and other stuff. Think what is important to you and from there make your decision.

Good luck and let us know what happens. :)

Hello,

I'm no manager but I really think that the laptop and DSL allows you to choose where you want to work. I have never known any group who goes to the office on a weekend.

I really think you're referring to contract/contingent workers (i.e. Manpower Services, something like that) in HP. You from HP? Would you know which group/bundle/team does the weekend at the office? We'd love to know.

[gwaping17]

I also know of someone who accepted the same offer, and starts March 16, 2007. Yes, you'll be assigned a laptop. My suggestion is be upfront with your manager, but in all subtlety, like, "Will I only be uploading files here?" :lol:

If a person really is a performer, or a KEY performer for that matter, why not? It has been reiterated a lot of times, the number of years of experience is beside the point, it's how well you perform.

[manong_bert]

This is one of the things that pisses me off in HP. How do you prove yourself when all you do is upload files and send data, and everybody else could do this? In our bundle, there is no opportunities to excel.

In HP, there are three types of promotions:
1. From ITO Specialist I to III
2. becoming a team lead or manager
3. being transfered to a new role

The first one is based in your salary, so an ITO Specialist III may still be doing the same thing as an ITO Specialist I. The second one is based on seniority. If there is a new team, or your team lead moves out, most likely promotions to these openings will be based on seniority. The third one is based on your tenure with your team. Our bundle requires 2 years residency before being given the chance to move. In other bundles, I see people moving to new roles after a year.

In our bundle, HP does not recognize key performers because there are no opportunities to be key performers. If there are key performers, saan mo sila ilalagay if the team lead slots are already complete?

TALK TO YOUR MANAGER. I think that's the best way to deal with it. Talk to him/her about your concerns.

Hi,

It seems you are so pissed off in your bundle. May I know what bundle do you belong? I am just curious in that bundle. :)

I think at HP, you can resign and re apply again if you really want to be in a different bundle. HP thinks of your career, you can always tell it to your manager. Besides, managers at hp are all human. I mean, they are friendly, approachable and understanding.

[manong_bert]

"TALK TO YOUR MANAGER. I think that's the best way to deal with it. Talk to him/her about your concerns."

I already informed my manager as early as July last year about how unhappy I was with my work, and that this was not the work I was told I was going to be doing. Although I may be transferred to another role, I have made up my mind that HP is not a good place to work in (based on MY experience).

Low salary + low salary growth + no career growth = I have no future here...

[Kolmogorov]

anong bundle mo manong bert?

anyway, I agree with some of your observations. But I joined there after working witth another company so all those promises about career growth are not new to me. Which means I don't really expect a lot from my managers.

Remember, promotion depends on skill set AND BUSINESS NEED (hindi lang nila aaminin agad yan)

the managers are nice. in fact mas mataray pa yung ibang HINDI managers!

all in all, working environment is ok especially IF gusto mong maging tech support habambuhay

[jensen83]

hey just quit if you think you can have a better job :) i don't think your manager would prevent you from pursuing a more meaningful job.. as they said managers in HP are nice :D

[grayscale06]

Thanks manongbert and gwaping17 for the info. It is really helping me to decide whether to accept the offer or not. Last question, is it acceptable to negotiate the salary they offer?

[toppi]

hi po! question lang po... pede po ba makahingi ng contact number ng hp para dun sa pag follow up ng application ko :)

naka 1st interview na ako eh... sabi nila in 1 week (4 days p *** including sat and sun >_<) ksi po may job offer na ako sa iba.. kaso lang parang mas maganda mag work sa hp :D

isa pa pong tanong... d ba *** matuturn off kung mag follow up ako ng madalas? :depressed: or baka mainis sakin ilagay ako dun sa paguupload ng files :hmm: hehe yun lang po

hay sana matanggap ako sa hp :sweatdrop2: (daming emoticons hehe XD)

[jensen83]

You can negotiate anything if you really think that you deserve more with your capabilities...

[rychu]

@toppi, if I were to get the call, I wouldn't mind. I would prefer persistent people who want to join HP because it tells something about his/her passion in working in HP. I mean, if it is already a week and they said they'll get back to you in a week, I think you have the license to make kulit regarding your application.

@grayscale, You can always negotiate your pay. I think it applies in all companies. Tell them that you were expecting more and ask if they can increase it. No harm in asking.

[gwaping17]

Si manong_bert daming hinaing. Hehe. Sana makuha mo na new role mo soon.

hi po! question lang po... pede po ba makahingi ng contact number ng hp para dun sa pag follow up ng application ko :)

haha, why don't you resign? and baket ayaw mong sabihin bundle mo? tapos puro negative pa sinasabi mo? hmmm... somethin fishy..*peace* :rotflmao:

[sap_titan]

just want to ask sa mga tao dito...

i was interviewed already last year by ms. bernie deveza of the hr. it was a good interview session kasi ms. deveza really listens sa mga sinasabi mo. during that time, she asked me kung ano ba daw position na gusto ko sa hp... being a comsci grad, sabi ko na i am alright with programming but i also would like to do *** client interfacing kasi i get to exercise and practice my communication skills and dealing with clients. sabi niya na they will give me a call after a week kasi she will find a suitable department for ata within hp. ayaw nya kasi na sa parang call center ata ako ilagay kasi sayang raw *** programming experience ko that comes with my degree...
then came 1 week pero hindi dila tumawag. kaya i thought na i did not inch in the interveiw kaya i accepted the offer of another company. after another week, i received na an email from ms. david of the business intelligence group ata ng hp asking me to fill up an employment form. pero during that time i already signed a contract with another company kaya i did not pass the form. then tinawagan ako ulit ni ms. deveza asking me if i passed the form already. sabi ko naman na i signed a contract na with another company. sabi ko na lang na after the contract, i will probably continue my hp application. sabi naman nya na they will keep my file active..

true, ang bait ng hr ng hp.. i dont know with the managers though...
question lang, is the business intelligence team or unit of hp more on the developmental work or support lang like uploading files and monitoring kagaya nung nabanggit sa nakaraang post dito... ano *** salary range ng mga tao na nahire within this unit?

thanks

[toppi]

Thank you po sa mga sumagot :) Fofollow up ko na po *okay*... as soon as may magbigay ng phone number nila :sweatdrop2: pede po pahingi ng phone po nila.... sila po kasi yung tumatawag eh.... sa sobrang excited ko nakalimutan ko hingin yung number :sweatdrop2:

[BlueTear]

Great going guys! Kaya niyo lahat yan at sana, magkita-kita tayong mga HP PExers soon hehe :)

Anyway, HP is still fast growing and expanding... so far, I've been hearing lots of new projects to come and new teams to be formed... so apply lang kayo ng apply! Gambatte ne! (Goodluck!)

[manong_bert]

haha, why don't you resign? and baket ayaw mong sabihin bundle mo? tapos puro negative pa sinasabi mo? hmmm... somethin fishy..*peace* :rotflmao:

I just sent you a PM stating my bundle

[sap_titan]

This is one of the things that pisses me off in HP. How do you prove yourself when all you do is upload files and send data, and everybody else could do this? In our bundle, there is no opportunities to excel.
There is always an opportunity to excel if you look hard enough. If your job is tedious and boring, look for ways to automate it or set up a monitoring system to alert you if something goes wrong. If your English is good, write a CBA/guide for some of the things your team does to make training new hires easier. Study, think outside the box, innovate, go the extra mile yada yada. It's been said that the best worker is one who works himself out of a job. For example, if your job is uploading files all day long you can write a program to do that for you and if your job is solving server issues you can proactively create a way to prevent those issues from occurring in the first place. For sure your manager will notice your efforts and you'll land a promotion.

What I love about HP is that nobody takes credit for another person's work. If anything, managers go overboard with praising you when you do something right and just give you suggestions to improve your performance when you do something wrong. I have heard horror stories from acquaintances in other companies about them slaving all night long on a project only to hear their boss take complete credit for it, and that's never happened to me or any of my HP colleagues.

The first one is based in your salary, so an ITO Specialist III may still be doing the same thing as an ITO Specialist I.
No company would hire two people, assign them the exact same tasks, and pay one twice as much as the other. Except kung (COO) child-of-owner yung isang employee :D

[BlueTear]

yes...

be INVENTive
think out of the box
have more initiative (better yet, take/own more "initiatives")
look for opportunities to excel
perform beyond expectations
be mindful of RESULTS!
learn more, train yourself more
...and be sure you'll be able to share what you've learned to others (to your team/other people concerned)

[manong_bert]

I have tried to be inventive. I have created several tools to make some processes more efficient. I have created a tool that would shorten data reconcilliation from 1 week to 5 minutes. I didn't even get an e-award for this!

You have to be in this bundle to experience this. Kahit mga kaibigan ko sa ibang bundle nagugulat din kung bakit ganito dito.

"No company would hire two people, assign them the exact same tasks, and pay one twice as much as the other. Except kung (COO) child-of-owner yung isang employee " - It's happening here..

Buti na lang naka-resign na ko sa wakas

[BlueTear]

manong_bert: pa-PM naman po ng bundle mo rin, thanks... rest assured it will remain in confidence...

Dang, walang e-award? Mali yun pare... it's just plain wrong... it should have been an LT award or something pa nga...

"No company would hire two people, assign them the exact same tasks, and pay one twice as much as the other. Except kung (COO) child-of-owner yung isang employee " - It's happening here..

- and yes, this is also happening here... before I was against this, but later on when I found out the reason behind, it's for the best interest for the team/bundle...

[cncntrx]

hi! i would like to know if i have certifications magkano offer sa akin? help me please.

You have to be in this bundle to experience this. Kahit mga kaibigan ko sa ibang bundle nagugulat din kung bakit ganito dito.

I give up!!!! :lol:


Buti na lang naka-resign na ko sa wakas

I can't be happier for you *okay* *okay* *okay*
Hope you'll be in a better place. Seriously.

There is always an opportunity to excel if you look hard enough. If your job is tedious and boring, look for ways to automate it or set up a monitoring system to alert you if something goes wrong. If your English is good, write a CBA/guide for some of the things your team does to make training new hires easier. Study, think outside the box, innovate, go the extra mile yada yada. It's been said that the best worker is one who works himself out of a job. For example, if your job is uploading files all day long you can write a program to do that for you and if your job is solving server issues you can proactively create a way to prevent those issues from occurring in the first place. For sure your manager will notice your efforts and you'll land a promotion.

What I love about HP is that nobody takes credit for another person's work. If anything, managers go overboard with praising you when you do something right and just give you suggestions to improve your performance when you do something wrong. I have heard horror stories from acquaintances in other companies about them slaving all night long on a project only to hear their boss take complete credit for it, and that's never happened to me or any of my HP colleagues.

Sorry pero OT ulit.

Hi tina11, can you share what bundle your are reffering to? Those who have very good experiences, can you also share? Para naman malaman ng mga hindi masyadong sinuerte sa bundle saan ok. It can probably be understood kung bakit hindi masabi kung anong bundle ang hindi ok dahil we respect kahit paano yung organization, but can someone at least tell saang bundle ok? I know HP is looking for good people and this would be a good way to promote the bundle.

BTW, yung last comment about required weekend work as RSC. Sa full pledge regular employees po yan nangyayari. Hindi po contractors ang tinutukoy dun. Kaya nga nag babalak ng lumipat ng ibang bundle mga tao pero hindi alam kung saang bundle ba ok (or natatakot na hindi rin payagan dahil baka isipin na mababaw ang reason) or at least hindi required mag work ng weekend sa office.

Are you from HP (i.e. Is this first hand information)? Could you tell me which bundle you're referring to via PM?

Hi to the PEXers here (HP emps and non-emps)!

I would like to share the same fate as some of those I was able to read here. I did wait ("Patience is a virtue") and got a job offer after exactly 1 month from my last interview with HP. Unfortunately, the offer is a bit low from what I expected but the other benefits and allowances are really good. I asked for a week to decide and I will read the other posts for some inputs first before I make my final decision. I really love HP and would like to work there but there are circumstances I need to consider. God Bless all.

[mitsui2050]

Sorry OT

Sa mga taga HP, pwede po ba malaman paano ang tamang way to ask for a bundle transfer? Dapat ba mag paalam muna sa current manager bago mag hanap ng lilipatan or dapat maghanap muna ng lilipatan bago mag paalam sa current manager?

Pwede na ba lumipat ng bundle pag naka 1 year kana sa current bundle mo?

Kung ayaw pumayag ng manager na palipatin ka sa ibang bundle, pwede ba mag resign and then apply sa ibang bundle?

[rc2k5]

It depends on your job in HP. Hindi naman lahat pareparehas ng ginagawa eh.. That is why HP hires only the best people. They offer big to people who HAD DONE big. :bashful: Hirap nga lang magshine because lahat magaling. People are dynamic, multi-talented and young. On my part, I don't have a bond because internal yung training ko. Kahit kelan pwede ako umalis, but I think I will not. And the best part is, you are challenged to strive by yourself. Sobra nga lang expectations nila for you. Imagine, on my part, as a new grad and im an ECE, not IT, they are expecting me to be on-boarded in just 1 month. As in you should learn everything in a month. It's difficult but I take it as a challenge. For me, it is just a matter of perspective. If you want the challenge to shine against the top individuals in the country, go on with HP and prove yourself! If you are weak, then HP is not for you.*peace*

langya, elibs na elibs ka talaga sa sarili mo ah. may crush ka ba sa sarili mo? hahaha. :bashful: :rotflmao:

Hi,

What does an Account Support Manager do? I saw this position advertised on the Web Site? Does the role handle a team or is this just a nice way of calling a support engineer for premium customers?

Thanks.

[DecimalCat]

Do they have openings for those in marketing or advertising?

[akira_jc]

This is one of the things that pisses me off in HP. How do you prove yourself when all you do is upload files and send data, and everybody else could do this? In our bundle, there is no opportunities to excel.

In HP, there are three types of promotions:
1. From ITO Specialist I to III
2. becoming a team lead or manager
3. being transfered to a new role

The first one is based in your salary, so an ITO Specialist III may still be doing the same thing as an ITO Specialist I. The second one is based on seniority. If there is a new team, or your team lead moves out, most likely promotions to these openings will be based on seniority. The third one is based on your tenure with your team. Our bundle requires 2 years residency before being given the chance to move. In other bundles, I see people moving to new roles after a year.

In our bundle, HP does not recognize key performers because there are no opportunities to be key performers. If there are key performers, saan mo sila ilalagay if the team lead slots are already complete?


yep...best way is talkto your manager about your issues...hindi lang yun di ba? kung di ka na masaya...you have to options...transfer to another role or mag resign ka na lang ng HP and maghanap ng job na magpapasaya syo.... that simple....

[akira_jc]

CJAbaban is correct...HP offers good compensation package if you deserve it.... alangan offeran ka ni HP ng malaki tapos ang nagawamo lang eh hindi naman ganun ka-tindi.... si CJABABAN nga 1 month training eh...si hubby ko... 3 days training ON SITE support agad sa isang Asian country..... depende talaga...common sense ng masyado tong sinabi ni CJABABAN...walang company na magbibigay ng super taas na offer kung hindi pa naman ganun kalaki ang naprove mo...tyka mo oatunayan sarili mo pag nasa loob ka na.... galante naman si HP sa increase.... aside sa PPR mo...meron ka pang increase once umangat post mo...:rotflmao:

I am just sharing my experience and telling people to be careful when they apply in HP because I have seen to many unhappy people (even with other teams in both offices) with the same reasons.

If you want to take a challenge, make sure that the job you're going to take is really challenging. Make sure that they challenge you with the quality of work instead of quantity. Malas mo na lang kung nagsinungaling yung manager just like in my case.

If you want trainings, make sure that you receive relevant trainings. Yung trainings ko is basically itatabi lang ako sa ibang tao para mag-memorize ng process.

There are a good jobs in HP, but may chance na malasin ka at makuha mong work ay di mo gusto. To minimize relying on luck in getting a job that you want or not, try to know the type of job that you would actually be doing.

[rychu]

it's also good to be really inquisitive especially during the interview process. ask about the nature of the work they do and what is expected of you. so that you actually have an idea on what you are going to do once you start work. no harm in asking questions! =)
