Thank you so much for recommending HKA and for your headline "More than a job" - we appreciate you sharing your views as a current employee of over three years. Great to read your Pros. Great to read your Cons - I agree with you; we have missed our colleagues even though everyone has worked super hard to keep in contact and stay connected as much as possible. Stay safe please during this pandemic. Thank you for all your have done and are doing to continue to improve HKA and make it even more successful. Thanks. Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer

Thank you so much for recommending HKA and headlining with "Improving yearly"...we value your opinions as a current employee - thank you. Thank you for your "Pros" and delighted to read that you have had great exposure and learning from international colleagues. Pleasing also that you think the work-life balance is great at HKA. Sorry to read that you are working with one client and the work is repetitive and frustrating. Do feel free to reach out to your line manager as perhaps there is something we can do to make this better for you? Turning to your other "Con"; we are very careful when we award salary increases firstly to make sure we are fair to other colleagues doing the same role and to ensure we give equal treatment...as this platform is anonymous I am unable to provide more reasons. Do feel free to contact me directly if you would like to talk about promotion increases further. Thank you for your positive comment under "Advice to Management" - you will know that we are not complacent and we are on a continuous improvement journey together. Thank you for all you have done for HKA as you have been with us for over 3 years - I believe our people make the difference; so you will have helped us grow and improve. Thank you so much. Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer

Pros

Continuing Education is supported. Has a strong team that works well together with strong mentorship. Good place to learn the business. Office location is very good. Projects are big and satisfying. For the first time in my career I was sad to resign.

Cons

They have moved away from defined salary packages. A promotion seldom means higher pay. Benefits get worst every year. People feel like they are not appriciated. My slowest career development was in HKA. However, I have learned so much while I was employed that it was not a set back to my career at all.

Thank you for scoring HKA with 4 stars out of 5 and for sharing your opinions as a former employee in Dubai. I realise you posted in July 2018 and I am replying to you in June 2021. Sincere apologies that we are only now replying to you. HKA is a continuous improvement organisation and we recently added replying to every HKA Glassdoor post as we do value opinions and look to learn from them. Thank you for posting positive Pros. You mentioned good support for ongoing education/learning, strong teams that work well together with good mentorship with big and satisfying projects. Thank you. Today, June 2021, we are retaining our brilliant people and we are growing and improving as a global professional services firm - which is very exciting and enjoyable. You noted also some Cons from your perspective. I respect these are your views and of course HKA has evolved and improved since July 2018; so perhaps unsurprisingly I see HKA differently to the list of Cons. My experience is:- - promotions come with decent salary increases and good recognition. We relish promoting talented colleagues and rewarding them - benefits are improving as we listen and consider what our colleagues value - our people are appreciated. We have brilliant people working at HKA who pull together to deliver for clients and for each other. I see leaders recognising and truly appreciating our people. I work very closely with our Continent Heads and our People Director based in Dubai and they passionately care and appreciate our people. I note that you worked at HKA for over three years. Thank you so much for your contributions to making HKA a great place to work. I hope you are well and safe, particularly during this pandemic. I also trust you are enjoying your career wherever you are now. Thank you again. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
