Business Outlook

Pros

Not many... The people worth knowing have mostly left the remaining are overworked and fight every day to make up for the $1Billion in stock buybacks to prop up the stock price.

Cons

Sr management is gutless and refuses to actually stand up to directors that are selling off pieces to pad their bonus/options

Great people and flexibility but leadership instability persists

Hr manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexibility with schedule allowing for a good work/life balance - Great people to work with - Brand recognition

Cons

-Leadership is in a constant state change which also provides instability of the strategy. - New CEO brings "new" products and promises but if you look back over the past few 5 year strategic plans, very little changes. - Financially struggling to make a profit - Employees are not rewarded based on performance. IF there is a financial increase to base pay everyone gets the same amount. There are no merit increases. And they haven't paid out a bonus in a couple of years.

RTO mandate unfairly booted talent out of company

Pdc worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I genuinely loved my time at HD. I had great colleagues and worked on some cool programs. I wish my time there would have been longer.

Cons

Some hired remotely were forced out the door in 2025 during the RTO mandate. But then some who were told they had to relocate and didn’t got to keep their jobs. I didn’t take it as a bluff when the told me and others the company plans. I took at it face value and got a new job as instructed. I don’t feel like that was fair and was in poor taste.
