Pros

Middle management has some serious talent. There are great people who are being clobbered by the executive team!

Cons

The leadership has little to NO ethical compass. With their only motivating factor being revenue, sales and account management have frequently been caught by clients in dishonest conversations. Senior leadership often pressures management to a breaking point, hence why there is such extreme turn over. HR is known to turn their backs on their own employees and report false information to senior leaders, causing extreme stress and unhappiness among many employees. Absolutely abysmal company culture.

Thank you for your feedback. I wish that you had provided more specifics about which policies you feel are outdated. Policies are regularly reviewed and updated based on employee feedback, changes in business needs and legislative changes. I am also surprised by your statement about HR turning their backs on their own employees. Do you mean turning their backs on Hanover employees or HR team employees? If either situation has occurred, I would encourage you to contact me directly to discuss. We take any claims of this nature very seriously. As a for-profit, self-funded company, Hanover is focused on remaining profitable by continuing to sell new services and renew existing clients. We would not still be in business after 13 years and growing if we were dishonest or misrepresented ourselves to our clients. Our corporate culture is driven by our desire to serve our clients. This means we often put in long hours to ensure that our clients are satisfied with their research projects and that we have addressed all their questions. This type of environment is not a fit for everyone.
