Pros

- Exposure to great projects and great clients - Smart and experienced team members with lots of knowledge - Great benefits package

Cons

- ZERO work/life balance - Upper management likes to trick younger employees into failing and looking bad - Less experienced employees are scapegoat for all problems - Expect a minimum 60 hour work week - You get penalized for having a life outside of HITT. They want you to eat, sleep, breathe HITT. Living up to the social expectation of the job is part of your review. - Managers and team members will hold all negative feedback until review time to hurt their peers ability to receive promotions and raises. - The company is a good old fashion boys club. If the old regime doesn't like you, you'll be an outsider before you know it.

Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write a review. While working hard is a key core value at HITT, we certainly want our team members to have a good balance.

However, we are constantly looking for ways to enhance the team member experience and welcome feedback as it helps us to consistently improve. I encourage you to reach out to our HR team and share any additional details you may have. Please feel free to contact me directly – Nazanin Codd, Vice President, HR at ncodd@hitt-gc.com.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to some general contractors.

Cons

* Poor work-life balance. Weekend work was frequently expected without additional compensation or meaningful recognition. * Role expectations were unclear. As an Assistant Project Manager, I was regularly expected to perform superintendent duties in addition to my own responsibilities, creating unrealistic workloads. * High turnover and frequent leadership changes resulted in inconsistent direction and a lack of support from upper management. * Inexperienced employees were promoted into Project Manager positions without sufficient training or mentorship, which often impacted project execution and placed additional pressure on other team members. * During my pregnancy, I did not feel supported by management. Instead of working with me to plan for maternity leave, I felt increasing pressure through unrealistic expectations and heightened scrutiny, leaving me with the impression that the company preferred I resign rather than take protected leave. This was one of the most disappointing aspects of my experience. * Communication and employee support depended heavily on the individual manager, leading to inconsistent treatment across teams. * Long hours and expectations to constantly be available made it difficult to maintain any work-life balance.
