A "manifesto-driven" culture that feels cult-like
Pros
Some long‑serving employees are passionate about the company’s history. Global footprint in theory (though not reflected in daily work)
Cons
I've never worked in a place with emphasis on a 'Manifesto' that centres a cult atmosphere led by Canadian long-service employees (including the CEO). Boys club energy, where benefits, opportunities or respect only come for those who have been in the company for 15+ years and are a Process Engineer. For anyone outside of that box, it's impossible to grow, develop your skills, or even get a seat at the table, especially for anyone outside of the technical field. In addition to that, with it being a global company, you are expected to join Teams Calls at 1am while being in office at 7am because they have a No Working From Home policy which is rich since it's a global company that bases 90% of their collaboration remotely. After a year of working at Hatch, I still don't know what they do - There are no projects, and they continue to use the same case studies from years ago to pull new employees into the ring.
