Senior Presales Consultant at Hewlett-Packard

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Melbourne Mar 2012 – Reviewed Sep 13, 2012

Interview Details A friend of mine referred me to the hiring manager and then the whole process was very quick: one phone interview and the verbal offer came in the next business day. A written one followed within a week (due to some internal bureaucracy and probably also background checks) , which I immediately accepted.

Interview Question – Nothing too difficult, probably because I had a proven record in the field and too many people knew me within the organisation from the previous dealings.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I was actually offered salary above my expectations, so didn't need to negotiate at all.

Solutions Architect at Hewlett-Packard

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Sydney Aug 2010 – Reviewed Jan 05, 2012

Interview Details I had an initial informal meeting with the hiring manager, who then asked me back for a formal interview with his manager.
After this, I then had to take an apptitude test and some written response questions asking how I would deal with certain circumstances, eg, project issues, missed deadlines etc.
From first contact to receiving an offer was about 4 weeks, then I started at the company 4 weeks after that.

Negotiation Details – Salary was not really negotiable. I requested an amount, which was declined, saying that offer was for a fixed salary, subject to review. This 'review' never happened though.
