Pros

- Hawk Ridge consistently wins awards for top SolidWorks reseller in the world. - Social Engineers can succeed here and launch into other careers. the most outgoing engineer with a willingness to go the extra mile for demonstrations, blog posts, beta testing, etc. seems to do better on yearly reviews.

Cons

Most salespeople and management are low-quality, ego-driven, insecure, impulsive, untrained, lack career mobility, lack critical forms of leadership, uneducated, and function as babysitters. With the exception of certain teams, there is a culture of apathy, lack of teamwork, zero interest in quality, and absolutely no accountability. -NO 401K MATCHING. - HR violations will happen daily, and HR is a complete joke - you still force 43 year old adult men/women to share cheap hotel rooms on business trips - management team is over their heads. - Work is a depleting, dispiriting experience. Management believes people are motivated by $10 starbucks gift cards, slang terms muttered to customers while the phone is on mute, and drinking in the parking lot is fine as long as your hitting your numbers. Its not, people notice. - offices are dusty relics of the 1990’s. Quit getting cheap on everything

"HR violations" is not really enough information for us to take action but I have two thoughts: first, I rely on employees to let me know what is going on. All reported issues are investigated, but of course we would not necessarily share the actions that are taken. If the affected employee is not satisfied, they have the option of coming back to me or going to an owner. Second, I realize that talking at work may not be ideal. My office phone goes directly to my cell phone so you can reach me at any time. If you want to discuss something privately I am happy to talk after hours. While we sometimes ask employees to do reviews, I am pretty sure that does not make it fake! I have read your review many times now and you have raised some serious concerns. I am discussing this with Dale and the sales managers. Thank you for your feedback.

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.
