Laid back, good pay

Recommend

Pros

Good company with good people. Laid back culture (core of business is out of the UK), skilled professionals. Competitive pay.

Cons

Challenge with strategic direction. PE owned, and with each new PE owner the winds tend to shift. Not unique in today's corporate world but still it can be disruptive from an alignment standpoint if you are looking for consistency.

Thank you so much for sharing your views as a former employee. We appreciate all you have achieved to help us grow and improve HKA together. Wishing you luck in your next venture. Great to read that you had a positive experience and gave HKA four stars – thank you. Especially lovely to note you said “good company with good people…skilled professionals…competitive pay” – thank you. Thanks for sharing your views on the Cons. We respect that this is your view, yet we do see our Private Equity investors slightly differently, particularly as we also have a large % of our Partners owning HKA which brings a very healthy dynamic to our progress. We are always grateful for the financial capital that our PE investors have given us and continue to give us; as this helps us to grow and improve. Like any Board, they are our “critical friends” with the motives to push for more progress to help our Clients, our People, and our Business Performance. Ultimately we think our People including our global Partner team and with our Private Equity investors are a winning combination for HKA and gives us an even better and bigger future. Many, many thanks again for sharing your views and for all you did for HKA. Please do keep well and keep in touch with us. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer.

Thank you so much for saying “Great Company” – and we value that especially as you are a current employee with us. Thank you also for all you do that makes HKA a great place to work and that helps us grow and improve too. Your point about “the company is lacking some communication” – do feel free to reach out to me at katewood@hka.com or JosephineGuckian@hka.com who is our Chief Marketing and Communications Officer – we would love to hear your ideas to help us get better here. We do hope our new Intranet (Pulse) has helped us to share information and to engage together as one global firm – of course, this is a topic that typically can always improve, so your help is most welcome. Thank you again. Please also keep well. Best regards Kate Partner, Chief People Officer

Pros

The experience from HKA has served me well in the Construction industry. At HKA, I learned to do thorough research efficiently. My written communication skills greatly improved as well. There are lots of opportunities for growth and constant learning.

Cons

Work was very demanding at times and I felt as if there was a lot of interference with my personal life outside of work. A lot of overtime was expected at times and in some instances my colleagues and I would work from 8 am - midnight in order to meet deadlines. I heard that other offices would give additional days off after a deadline but it seems as if the office I worked at overlooked the amount of work we put in. I would also get calls and requests to prepare work product late in the evening and at one point I worked every weekend for almost three months straight.
