HII reviews

No cons for my current team, but the hiring process for me had a lot of issues. The lack of communication from HR was terrible. I was sent an offer letter for the position and was supposed to start within a couple weeks. I was emailed on Friday and was supposed to start on Monday. So obviously I left my other job by then. Long story short, 5 months later, I was finally started. I only received updates from HR when I reached out to them. At one point I wanted to see how long it would take for them to reach out to me…a month went by and nothing. So again, I had to reach out for an update. My savings was gone and part of my retirement. I was never offered any compensation and barely got an appropriate apology. I understand there were probably issues out of their control, but communication goes a long way. I was also told this position came with yearly bonuses, which is false.

Lowballed pay as well as barely 2% raises Every year (some years were missed and "bonuses" given) simply hasn't kept up with inflation over the last 2 years. Opportunities to grow here are very limited and upward mobility really only happens in three ways, someone retires, someone dies, or someone leaves. Benefits are often touted as much better than other companies but they are middle of the road at best (with the exception of health insurance perhaps) If your desire is to actually improve things as most Industrial Engineers are trained to do be prepared for an uphill battle at HII often phrases have been thrown around such as "is it worth the fight?" , Or the classic "We've always done it this way" You will most likely be stuck doing one specific thing you learned in College briefly that isn't very challenging.
