Pros

Good work-life balance. Everyone who works here is amazing.

Cons

Management does not recognize and reward accomplishments or the impact you had on a project/team. Opportunities to advance your career are slim to none. Management has no incentive or motivation to help you. Requests for salary adjustments are met with skepticism, rejection, gaslighting, and deflection. The executive team intentionally devised the raise/promotion system to be secretive and vague so that they can save as much money as possible while being able to pocket the rest. Robert Frist addresses the company in regular town hall meetings and happily reports record profits from his lavish home office, while many of us have to suffer below average salaries for our titles/responsibilities and struggle with bills, rent, and groceries. All while the products we build generate "record profits."

Pros

My team and the connections I've made, their support and strong team effort.

Cons

Had 3 managers in first year. Lack of communication and leadership. Pay is substantially lower than competition. No Work/Life balance - all work! HR was ineffective, and slow to respond to issues and questions. Management only sees dollar signs and are quick to make judgements regarding employee's work, have unreal expectations, show no compassion, and put people in boxes... giving no feeling of belonging. The workforce development platform is outdated and there is a lack of connection with sales and product teams to discuss what client's urgently need. HSTM cannot keep up.
