Pros

Snacks. People. Convenient locations. Should not require twenty words if there are not twenty pros. Out of pros. There are few.

Cons

Marketing is posting positive reviews to counter negative posts. Shady. Pay. Management. HR.

Hawk Ridge Systems Response

Only one manager asked one employee to share a review because people who are unhappy are more likely to post than happy people, and was hoping for some balance. That manager realizes that that was a mistake. Many companies ask their employees to write reviews but we no longer do that. And as the whole HR department for 180+ employees in two countries, I agree that an HR Team would be great!

Pros

None since the old leadership left

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the interview promises of talk about “work-life balance” or “family values”, it’s strictly public relations. The reality is a severe double standard in leadership. This place is full of long tenure favorites regularly takes time off with zero notice and passing their workload onto others expecting them to drop their plans at a minute’s notice. If you are NOT one of the favorites and you take time off for a family emergency or personal illness, even if it’s unpaid, you are immediately placed on the chopping block under the guise of “structure reorganization.” Meanwhile the favorites do minimum work, continue to collect their bonuses and taking off whenever they want. If you value your career growth and life outside of work, avoid. All you get here is stagnation with zero room for growth.
