Pros

Smaller company permits a lot more independence and creativity when solving problems. Most teams great to work with and a lot of people seem to care about doing a good job. Leadership is also transparent with frequent meetings to let employees know what's happening at the company. Good work life balance and lots of people are able to take PTO. Taking PTO is even encouraged.

Cons

Criminally low pay for the work the expect from us. All around low rating among employees for the pay and everyone always jumps ship after they get experience for a better paying job. Also no diversity among executive leadership. Company events are also cheap. Benefits are fine, not great. No stock options, low bonuses.

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 The workforce development platform is outdated and there is a lack of connection with sales and product teams to discuss what client's urgently need.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.
