Pros

A strong brand with opportunities to network with good people.

Cons

Fluffy business idea with little to no real world value. I've never seen so many coworkers being unwell and having burnout symptoms. That is what a weak business with consistent financial problems and lack of personal development does to people. No possibility for career growth whatsoever - neither skill wise or monetary. Negative results and financial problems since it started in the 90s. Cult like culture that contributes to blinding people for what it really is. Very dangerous. Nepotism at all levels that limits development for employees and ensures job security for managers that are incompetent.

Pros

- Learning the methodology; gaining facilitation skills - The people (especially collaborators) - Flexible schedule/work-life balance - 4 week vacation (last I heard) - Autonomous teams; flat-ish organization - Opportunity to build a good network - The school and unique student body/alumni keep HI's spirit alive

Cons

- Financial instability - Profit margins trump quality of delivery - Lack of career ladder / no development plan follow-up - Politics and favoritism - No room to negotiate salary / freelance rates - Leadership is reactive and untrusting at times; not focused on long-term change - The board makes decisions while lacking understanding about day-to-day operations
