Pros

Draws good people who are dedicated and want to do what's right.

Cons

Very discriminatory in terms of raises and promotions. Bullies get rewarded while the smart, dedicated employees are punished. If you are a woman you can forgot ever going anywhere, the CEO and COO has no respect for women and will not promote those that are working hard. The CEO gets away with keeping women down and promoting bullies by saying that those who come up with the next idea will be successful, not those that follow cf keep on a defined career path. This creates a really negative culture and many unethical practices. The benefits are terrible and pay below market.

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 The workforce development platform is outdated and there is a lack of connection with sales and product teams to discuss what client's urgently need.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