Pros

good experience, opportunity to move around (sometims)

Cons

upper management runs company with fear tactics Getting shares or pay raises is very secretive and has no straightforward path shares are never discusse, and you can tell who has share by who is actually happy. a lot of senior managers that get paid a LOT of money suck up a lot of the profits lots of smoke and mirrors about everything pay raises for the 5-10 year experience is lacking. excuses are always made and stupid reasons are always given for below average pay. people get sick of the "well one day you can own shares" carrot that is always dangled but never discussed. Non engineers get cut first, regardless of experience. its not good enough to do good work, since most managers only care about their project and not developing people. you have to do good work for the right people or your just wasting your time

Pros

Some projects can be interesting and challenging. Good training and knowledge systems. Good technical expertise. Large engineering consulting company.

Cons

Weak management practices compared to some competitors. The culture has made some people believe that they are “la crème de la crème”of all engineering companies, and some associates had no problem defaming some excellent companies (verbally).

Pros

- people are generally very nice - excellent location - office is clean and nice - when you have work to do, people trust you to do your job

Cons

- not a lot of growth for non-engineers - there is a very clear hierarchy in terms of engineers vs. designers. hatch cares immensely about their engineers and do not place a lot of value on designers - young inexperienced engineers often given too much responsibility or power too soon - pay is lower than industry standard - they probably will not contact you for a VERY long time after you interview - hatch does things differently than a lot of companies do, and it can be frustrating if you are used to standard practices in other companies - it's not uncommon to spend long stretches of time charging to overhead because there is not enough work for the amount of employees there are - because of long stretches on overhead, you don't end up learning much - pace is very slow compared to other engineering firms
