This company uses their exterior ethics to dismiss interior abuses of power
Pros
Great co-workers...the intern program is a good way to explore the inner working of the company. Ethically aware (Member of PETA, promoter of Vegan lifestyle)
Cons
Do you notice the previous reviews are all contributed within the same time period? 5 reviews in two days (Jan 24-25/Feb 6). This was most likely done to try to reclaim the narrative that HSI is a bad place to work; don't believe it. HSI is the worst example of horrible workplace culture I've ever seen and it's not even close. The problems start at the top and trickle down from there. The CEO is quite possibly the cruelest, most profane and inhumane person I've encountered in any workplace. He rules through fear, insults, and psychological abuse of his salaried employees and management staff. In turn, management reflects this in interactions with employees in their charge. His behavior includes but is not limited to personal insults, threats of legal action, and even veiled threats of bodily harm and it is unacceptable in any decent workplace. He has been sued for past instances of this behavior and yet, has continued to exhibit such poor behavior. This is not hyperbole. Avoid this place if you can and spare your sanity.
