Pros

Literally 0. This is not an exaggeration.

Cons

H1 recruiters will reach out and poach you promising the best culture in the work force. Culture is horrific- very clicky and you will be the outsider. No support from middle management while somehow executives are way too into the weeds with day to day. Job titles are misleading and you will do a lot more of random tasks (while having no support but supreme critique). Lay offs occur frequently and it’s a generic email to the group of employees let go- it’s not even a personalized email with your name on it and no one will speak to you in person about it. Ironically they then post that the job title/FTE is available on LinkedIn (for way less salary} CEO has strong political views that he presents as all of H1 supports also. Career growth is nonexistent and there is 0 support in training new employees. Current employees have a, “I was thrown into the fire so you should be too” attitude.

Pros

Decent pay Good coworkers Remote

Cons

Misalignment in executive hiring. The Chief data officer is the biggest joke they hired to make brand image- he has no idea what he doing with the team. Interviews folks on data structure/ (c++/ java) but then asks them to jump right into coding sql in first week of job with tight deadline. Biggest micromanager ever. No work ethics/ if you cannot finish the task- you will be insulted in front if peers and even laid off( yes laid off within less than 2 months if you cant pick up a new skill/ language) The engineering team he is building is not diverse- just male and indian and either from his previous company or school. Probably ones ready to sacrifice their lives outside work. Beware of what you are getting into and also Beware of fake reviews with 5 stars getting added to cover up overall rating of H1.

Pros

Nice people Good work/life balance

Cons

No true leadership. Directions and priorities can be changed without proper communication. People with an ego who think everyone around them knows nothing. If you're not VP or upper level, you probably won't know that HR exists in this company after your first week.

Hello ! If there's something I can do to help the circumstance, please reach out to me or a member of my team. I take the HR comment seriously, and I personally make time for all convos and requests that come my way regardless of the team members title. Please let me know what I can do to help me or the HR team be more visible outside of town halls or current channels we use. We are going to run an anonymous survey again in the next couple weeks through culture amp (you can read how culture amp helps protect anonymity), and I invite you to share sentiments there to help us identify any leadership challenges that exist where you may be uncomfortable sharing without anonymity.
