Pros

Work with wonderful people. I have the opportunity to work with people in other offices not just the Chicago office. IT within each office and the help desk always available to assist with any type of computer problems. H&K has it's own travel agency. Nice place to work.

Cons

The firm had a couple RIF's in the past serveral years, it was sad to see people laid off. But when you merge a few firms together in a new city to make a new H&K in a new city, I guess that is what needs to be done.

Pros

Gained valuable hands-on experience in a fast-paced work environment.

Cons

Leadership from the top of several departments created an unnecessarily cutthroat work environment. Many management decisions appeared to prioritize short-term objectives over employee retention and morale. One of the most concerning patterns I observed was that several employees with 20+ years of service were terminated around the time of their annual performance reviews. Whether intentional or not, it created a perception that long-term loyalty and experience were not valued. In addition, many of the support departments operated in a way that fostered hostility rather than collaboration. Communication was often poor, accountability was inconsistent, and the overall culture became increasingly toxic. If you're considering working here, be aware that your experience may depend heavily on your department and leadership, as the organizational culture can be challenging.
