Pros

Consistent amount of work and growth. Few if any layoffs. Wide range of experience amongst staff. Lots of good people who work hard and collaborate well.

Cons

Incompetent executive team pulling the company in different directions with an inconsistent message and product. Many clicks and groups working against each other. Many unqualified middle managers that are puppets to executives with their own motives. Support groups are understaffed. Way too many political/favor hires bogging down the production staff. Management takes big clients for granted.

Pros

Working at HBK has been the best experience ever. Their culture is very much relaxed and trusting. If you're doing what you're supposed to do the managers wont bother you. No micromanaging AT ALL!! I've worked in toxic environments before and after almost three years at HBK, its NEVER been toxic.

Cons

Their pay is on the lower side but honestly it doesn't matter because its such a healthy work environment.

Pros

Health Benefits were good, mainly because HBK was part of Quanta Really great people Fun activities like galas, sport events, etc. Healthy worklife balance

Cons

1 week maternity/paternity leave Low pay and disappointing annual bonuses - getting exceeds expectations doesn't result in big pay bumps Change management is non-existent - employees are given little notice on changes and expected to fall in line with no discussion Not a lot of growth opportunity Not a lot of training for middle management High turnover rate for engineers and project managers
