Please feel free to contact me or anyone in our senior leadership team so we can listen and help you. I was sad to read your “Cons” and surprised. Step one is to try to help you, as we want our employees to feel proud of HKA and enjoy working here. So, what can we do to support you? Our employee survey, which we conduct every year, showed that 83% of our employees participated and scored HKA 7.9 out of 10 for the question “How satisfied are you working at HKA?” Do reach out, and let's exchange views and see if we can make things better for you, Best always, Kate Your Chief People Officer

Pros

I love most of the people I work with in our original three offices (we were acquired by HKA). They are respectful, helpful, intelligent, insightful and fun.

Cons

The yearly raises, even when you've had glowing reviews and worked incredibly hard, are lower than raises I received teaching public school.

Thanks for your review. Delighted for you that you enjoy working with HKA people, that is positive when you are a current employee. Thank you also for all you are doing to help us continuously improve HKA and grow. We are achieving so much progress together. We do appreciate that HKA is a collaborative team delivering results – we are in this together. Do feel free to reach out to me directly so I can listen and see if I can help at all. Of course, also feel free to reach out to your Supervisor or our Americas People Team. We always want to listen and try to help as much as we can. Best regards Kate HKA’s Chief People Officer.

Pros

- Upward mobility for high performers and not subject to strict "can only get promoted at 2yr intervals" nonsense. If you're good, they promote you - Casual vibe, easy access to management - Good pay

Cons

- Not respectful of your time. You won't be putting in consistent 70hr weeks but there will be times they demand you cut your vacation short or change travel plans. C-suite operates on their own weird schedules and demands you do the same; if the president is working from 4-11pm that day, you have to stay until 11pm too, even if you got in at 9am

Thank you so much for the four stars and headline “Good Company…” Thank you also for all you have done to contribute to HKA’s ongoing growth and success. We note you are a former employee, so we wish you all the very best in your next step. We appreciate all of your feedback. Thanks for your list of “Pros” – we particularly noted your comment about “Upward mobility for high performers…” – as we are building excellence and we have a high-performing culture, we are happy for you that you experienced this positive environment. We know that working in a global professional services firm that cares about its Clients and its People hours may be unusual. Of course, we continue to improve to get a better work-life balance, as HKA is a People Business and it makes sense to keep looking after our People who are at the very heart of all we do. We continue on our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion journey…so we know there is still more to do here. Pleasingly, in our annual global employee survey, our score for this question was 8.3 out of 10, with an 89% participation rate:- “HKA supports ED&I” And 8.6 out of 10 for “At HKA, people of all backgrounds are accepted for who they are” And 8.1 out of 10 for “ I believe HKA is a diverse workplace”… …always more to do personally and collectively on ED&I in the world and HKA. Once again, many thanks for sharing your feedback. Wishing you all the very best. Keep in touch, please. Best always, Kate Partner, HKA’S Chief People Officer
