      Pros

      There's decent parking and it's in a nice part of town, the compensation can be ok. Some of the people I met while working there were very cool - but there are cool people at every company so that may not count. Also, to be fair - I keep reading people saying the office is bugged / has hidden cameras, etc. I never saw any evidence of such thing. It wouldn't surprise me given the owner's mistrust and paranoia - but I really doubt it was being done, at least while I was there.

      Cons

      The same ones listed over and over and over again in all the poor rating reviews. Everything bad about this place starts from the insecure little man at the top and trickles down to taint everything else. There's something really wrong with him - a personality disorder of some kind maybe? Is he an insane abusive, screaming, cursing maniac all day every day? No, of course not. There are times when he's even been known to be empathetic and generous (or at least he's pretending to be). But even if you behave normally 90% of the time, you still can't treat people in such a nasty way the other 10% and expect anything but anxiety, resentment and everyone looking for the exit ASAP. Very few people will put up with that kind of treatment, even if it's only once in a while if they have other options. Hand to God, I once overheard a meeting while this dude was in the middle of a typical screaming tantrum and I stopped to listen and I heard him call the employees as a collective "The Mother(expletive)s who steal my money!!". I almost choked from laughing - but that's the way this guy views the world. He'll get super angry that he can't understand the thick accents of the foreign workers (which he hired, possiy because they work for less and need to keep their jobs to stay in the usa) and yell at them to SPEAK ENGLISH OR GO BACK HOME!!! He's used the "C" word about women who work there (behind their back only). There's really no limit to what comes out of that insipid little mouth.

      Pros

      The environment is healthy and comfortable. Open door policy with management is great and co workers are fun to work with. Plenty of help if needed.

      Cons

      No cons for the company or employees. The only cons that I see in the reviews are personal and dependent on that individual. Their comments should not reflect on the company.

      Pros

      Underground parking....for management employees only. Cutting edge technology.

      Cons

      This is - by far - the worst company I ever worked for. I'm actually embarrassed that I was an employee there! First day on the job you are greeted with the fact that you have two 10 minute breaks, a 30 minute lunch and, regardless of level, you punch in and out for work and lunch (even if you are a Manager or Director). You are also told that it is a privilege to interact with the CEO, however you should never go into his office even if the door is open. If you are invited to meet with him, you are told to bring a pad of paper and something to write with and to remain silent until addressed. Seriously? Most CEOs are smart and extraordinarily busy individuals; however they enjoy interaction with their employees. The benefits are a joke; substandard medical benefits, a minimal number of paid Holidays (less than any other company that i've ever worked for), NO 401k, you don't get a week of paid vacation until after a year of employment, and so on. However the real downfall of this company is the culture. The CEO throws temper tantrums and directs profanity-laced tirades at employees. I've never witnessed people being publicly humiliated by the CEO on regular basis until I worked here. HSI brags about having a "no politics" culture but i found the complete opposite to be true. I would never advise my worst enemy to work at this place. It was simply awful.
