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

Laid back, good pay

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.
