Pros

HG Insights has one of the best data sets available if you need sales and marketing info. If you want to support/sell/work with one of the best tools to build competitive take-out campaigns look no further. Great benefits from day one, and you can be vested with the company in a relatively short amount of time.

Cons

The pay isn't terrible, but it's not good either. The workload is also nearly unendurable sometimes because nobody has explicit responsibilities, and managers tend to be detrimentally hands-off. It's great to not be micromanaged but some direction would be super helpful. There was also a complete change of leadership earlier in the year (2024) and for the most part it's unclear that the change has provided the company with any real value. Something like a 10% staff reduction was made to offset the change, so HG lost proven employees that provide the company value only to have a slew of new C-Suites come in.
