- 2.0Oct 2, 2023DirectorCurrent EmployeePortland, OR
Pros
- Unlimited PTO (if that's your thing) - Majority work remotely - Understands the need towards consistency
Cons
- You must prove what you bring to the table is better than what HMH currently has - they start by saying you will use X and then you have to hope you can lead them to a discussion. - Hierarchy is crazy-strong. I haven't seen this level of secrecy and control since the early 2000's. - Don't ever expect to get told anything ahead of time. Ever. About anything.
