About my recent work, most of the days , my work begin with reading letters of cooperating customers with problem resolving. I need to find out what makes it happen with software product preformance log, and with more instructions and steps with the customers , determind whether it's from software product side or from the customer project side. If I find out that the issue is from our software product side , but it's small and only need to adapt to the certain customer, I will modify the codes and rebuild a new version for the custom , at the same time add a project branch for the certain customer. While  it's neccessary for our software product to upgrade to handle this kind of situation, I will report to software developer with my suggestions, and work on the codes with them, and finish the following tests with them. 
I learnd software developing thinking and skills from this job, and I benefit most from working on the problems with both the developing team and the technical customers, coordinating with both sides and make a project successfully accomplished. So for what I learned most, is to never give up to any problems, and believe it will and can be solved if you put more efforts into it .
I've led a team of 6 for a risk control related project for China Post. 
The hardest part of the jobs is the pressure when the problem arises. When I worked in the China Post project and deployed the whole solution in the customer's data center, the database collapsed after hours of running. I worked the whole night with my colleagues to find out the problem. We have tested and altered on the machine and went through the same kind of the posts online to get inspirations. When I in HP, sometimes it's hard to comvince the customer that the problem comes from their part of the codes. I need to add more alert and change the simulator to test as their requirement , at the same time coordinate and give them instructions to the codes that can help with the project. I am always the last one to give up. 
To make a project successfully accomplished , to receive their thanks , to report a new bug and suggestion.

After 15 years of working, I got laid off.  I was one of the workers with the most knowledge and experience working with Canada Savings Bonds.  My typical day consisted of answering client letters, calls and e-mails, updating client info, redeeming funds, creating new client plans, updating training manuals, requesting duplicate T5 slips, redeeming RSP funds, assisting the Call Centre, training new employees and refreshing my existing co-workers on case work as required and attending meetings when required.  I was also the Direct Deposit Expert and Subject Matter Expert for various case types.  I miss the work and my fellow co-workers; they were a fun great bunch!  The hardest part of the job was dealing with the most recent  Supervisor and Manager because they put people where they want them to be...using favouritism. The company as a whole doesn't know anything about our services and seems to think that in order to save money, they must get rid of their workers, but this will soon get them in trouble because the experienced ones are all retiring or being laid off and the new workers don't have the same knowledge that took years to learn; therefore, customer service will not exist and all the clients will suffer.  I've worked in small and big companies and I've learned that the bigger the company, the less they care about their employees...which is too bad because without good employees, you have no company.

for me a typical day at work i would show up at 7 and work until 5 most days lucky if i took my lunch not because i wasn't allowed but because i would be working so much i sort of forgot to take it.

In my time there i would have to say that i have learned more than i ever could of imagined and was very upset to not be able to stay due to over staffing

Management was amazing. some of the best i've ever had my whole time that i've been working. Very understanding and supportive of the things i wanted to try and learn. encouraging me to take on new projects and how to time manage.

My co-workers made the days go by fast. always having a good time and filled with laughter. couldn't of asked for better.

hardest part of my job was growing and learning all the new things that would change at any given time. but it allowed the days to go by fast and learn lots while doing so.

well i would have to say the whole time that i was there. as being there i enjoyed every day. Some days where harder than others but it still never changed my opinion on it. I would go into work an hour early every day and start working just because i wanted to. my job gave me the excitement that i was always looking for and i wouldn't of changed it for the world.

Very little innovation combined with situational ethics. If you do not document everything you do someone else will surely take credit for it. To actually do anything requires getting approval from all kinds of people who have nothing to do with the finished product. It is hard to imagine a more dysfunctional place on earth. there is so little money invested in R&D the products are repackaged each year with minor improvements. The minor improvements come from business partners who also provide the same technology to HP's competition. There is no room for advancement unless you are part of the old crowd in Houston where the cult of cronies climb on top of the work pile just as it works to completion. This way they can look like they are doing something. 
The IT department finally has email working after 4 years of torture. The other 1200 projects that the IT department want to deploy will have to be prioritized. The myth about what a great place HP is is not the truth. It may have been true but it is not the truth now. There are still some very smart people working there. Just not in management.

as a millennial, might be difficult to settle and think on retiring from the 1st company I started working for.. well I started with HP right after graduating 11 years ago in an entry-level role and today I have traveled the world with Hp and have a manager role. I report to a great leader who is always looking to get the best out of me, thinking on my next career move and trying to help me achieve my personal goals, the kind of leader who's got your back, not a micromanager and will allow you to scratch your knee but never break your leg. as managers we get constant training and learning opportunities, I had the opportunity to get my master's degree funded by HP, I meet great people to learn from every day, people with purpose and real love for the company, most of my peers have been with the HP for 30+ years i am so lucky to get the chance to learn from them. This is definitely the company I want to retire from, love the culture, our values and the great people who work around the globe to make history with HP.
11 years and counting, we are HP and we make it happen

Beware: I overachieved for a decade, 100+ of quota, if your not based in the US you are at risk of losing your job.

What I learned was that no matter how big a company is, you are only a number on a P&L balance sheet. There is no protecting or loyalty to the people that build the business. They expect loyalty but give none back, I believe its now called, " Trumpinism".

My job in Canada was made redundant because US sales suffered. 10 consecutive years of compensation problems, 5 bosses, and a culture of needing to be in the bubble of Sr Management to be protected against WFR's, (HP's Work Force Reduction Program) 

Not a place if you want to grow your career. Only in the last three years I have never witnessed such poor management and leadership. Isolation from business planning and poor executive engagement.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when the country was being managed by the Canadian Country Manager, once HP centralized management in the US and took place the country leadership and understanding of the country it went to help in a basket.

On a typical day, I would listen to and evaluate recorded telephone calls for the Cargo division of a large airline and for a large Insurance company. I would review the evaluation with each agent, explaining how and why the score was obtained.  I have learned how to deal with people, without them feeling they are being pressured, or singled out.  I believe in praising the good work of people in public.  Anything they need to inprove upon should always be discussed privately. I have had good managers since starting with HP, and each and every one, are top notch people. They are knowledgeable, fair and considerate people and I found it a joy to work with each of them.   I enjoyed my jobs with HP and the people I worked with.  The hardest part of the job was trying to expain to an agent, one on one,  what was required of them, when they were not interested in any form of feedback.  The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with co-workers and getting 'thank-yous' from them, even if they did not pass an evaluation.

You get in, sign in to your computer and all your programs and sit and wait for a call. The CSR's who only speak English get a higher volume of calls than the bilingual employees, but they get a higher wage. The calls themselves don't vary greatly, mostly redemption calls (people taking money out of their accounts), address changes, and sometimes odd things like the passing of a bond owner or transferal of money from one account to another. The calls are short, they are only inbound and you are not pressed to reach any certain number, which is good. There is a lot of time for reading or talking with co-workers between calls. The co-workers are all nice and easy to get along with and the management is the same. The hardest part of the job would be the days when you don't get a respite from all the calls but they are few and far between and not all that bad anyway. The most enjoyable part would be the downtime between calls.
