Progress hindered by lack of forward-thinking leadership.
Aug 17, 2012 - Sales Representative in Austin, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
HMH has great content and passionate employees that truly believe in what they do. The products and legacy are valuable.
Cons
The company is like a lumbering dinosaur that can't keep up with progress. A large percentage of the time I was there, we didn't have something as simple as a working website. When we did, it was difficult to navigate and missing lots of key information. The company is reactive when it comes to technology at a time when it is vital to be proactive. Even simple internal tasks were mired in unnecessary processes. HMH is stuck in the past and old ways of doing business, and lacks focus, direction, and forward thinking leadership. Technology is forcing publishing to become a quickly changing industry, and they need to be able to keep up with the change if they expect to survive for the remainder of the 21st century.
