[net.general] IBM vs. HP: research

lorien@dartvax.UUCP (Lorien Y. Pratt) (03/20/84)

I have been offered entry-level positions at both Hewlett-Packard and
IBM.  I feel that, sooner or later, I'd like to do research in some AI-
related field, and I'd like any comments you may have as to the
accessibility of the research labs to an employee starting out as a
programmer in either company.  I don't want to start a ridiculous
discussion of the overall merits of and/or problems with HP and IBM;
many articles have been written on both.  But things can change quickly
and there may be some work being done of which I'm not presently aware.
I'd appreciate any impressions, subjective or otherwise, that you may
have.  I hold an A.B. in Computer Science from Dartmouth.
