Canteen only operates till 10pm. how about people who work night shift ? still driving out to eat. i've been in the campus for sometime and i never got the chance to eat in the canteen as it has been closed during my lunch time. you guys should know there is employees who work odd hours, any caring for them ? besides this few things, everything else is good..no complaints :D

No doubt its a good environment. but let me tell u guys something. They know they have plenty of employees and such a big space, but parking were never enough. u double park, warning letter given. HP provide you ONE pool table(80% of the time conquered by our frens from india) and ONE fussball table. We have like 5k employees ATLEAST ? you think its enough ?

HP Cyberjaya is far from success and the video shown is more for marketing. Below are some reasons you may want to reconsider if you ever choose to work there. Carrer planning is vital for success. When I joined HP I thought i was making a good choice. After all it was HP .. can you go wrong? My verdict? HP is still a damn good technology company. Unfortunately its being wasted by a management that has poor planning and lacks direction and execution. This is no more apparent than in Cyberjaya.

Unfortunately the HP US management ignores the quality of local managers being hired. It wont be surprising the local manager you report to has no background to your scope of work migrated from the US. This is where employee frustration builds. There is an over-dependence on US managers to do the 'real work' and answer questions since they have the 'know how' while the local manager lags behind. What's the local managers for then? What are they managing if US are doing their work for them?

In addition to confusion of high workloads in HP, others have alternatively complained they have little or no work. While work is being migrated from Americas to Cyberjaya new staff may not be required to start any work until 'the US management' decides what to send over. This is time wasting. There have been cases people joined HP Cyberjaya and didn't get work to do until months later. In 1 quarter you may just learn 3 excel files! When performance appraisal comes what do you have to show?

Workloads in HP are not even. Most work you get are migrated to Cyberjaya from Americas and Europe. some staff complain they have too many things on their plate and local managers (being new to HP) cannot gauge how heavy or complex one person can handle their own work. Chances you will end up being a guinea pig until the management realises workloads are ridiculous. By then a second generation person is hired after you leave. This can go on and on hence explains why the attrition rates are high.

Key reasons people left HP - 1. not happy with salary. They hire you with good salaries but increments are not for everyone (more so now given cost cutting) very common among IT staff. 2. new reporting managers have poor experience, scope or know how (sometimes you feel you should have been the manager) 3. timezone, those supporting Americas and Europe dont have a content manager (that means people who really know what your work is about) in Cyberjaya, difficult to solve or address problems

[orica2my]

It was communicated HP Finance attrition rates (people leaving HP) since it started ops in Cyberjaya is almost 18% (1/5 persons leaving). So this prooves HP is not all it sells itself to be. One mistake I made while I applied was ignoring HP was also hiring managers at the same time. This means new managers are hired while you join. So one can imagine the nightmare if you are assigned to a newbie manager. After a while you realise they dont know the SAP systems, business process or industry. 

[orica2my]

Being an ex HP employee the campus may look attractive at first glance but there are better employers in M'sia. The quality of management in HP finance is below par. They hire managers who do not have IT management experience, the HP way and only look good on paper. If you are aiming for career development and under 5 years experience HP is it. But if you're experienced and really want career direction drop HP. The US staff are better than the local managers so try not to end up with one.
