      Pros

      If you are motivated and bright you have a lot of opportunity and is rewarded. There are some groups which do not micromanage and allow freedom and encourage ideas which help the company grow.

      Cons

      No cohesiveness and much fingerpointing between the groups. No accountability with some groups in helping to resolve internal issues. The company is going in different directions and using the same staff to support. There is a poor balance between generating new business and supporting existing, sometimes not coming up with enterprise solutions for years.

      Not to be trusted

      Pros

      Workers feel empowered at HNS. They do get a lot of responsibility and freedom to pursue their interests, which encourages them to work longer and harder.

      Cons

      The words from a Sr. VP still ring in my ears "Tell the customer whatever they want to hear, and when the truth becomes inevitable, find somebody else to blame." Needless to say, we got a lot of customer complaints, and each Monday we had a staff meeting to coordinate our lies. Not only is that how they handle customers, but that's how they handle employees as well. All production is done overseas, and the factory is only used to grind serial numbers off the equipment so that customers can't track it. Staff are expected to put in long [unpaid] overtime hours to "keep their commitments". Its not a healthy or professional environment.
