Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Company culture, work life balance, benefits, diversity & inclusion
Cons
Lower salary compared to competitors
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
HMH hires awesome employees. People on my team are collaborative, supportive, and work towards a common goal. Work/life balance is great, including unlimited PTO. Our products and services make a difference in students' and teachers' lives.
Cons
There is definitely room for improvement in terms of project management and organization, but I think my division is taking steps in the right direction. When people leave or get laid off, they don't seem to hire, so work keeps piling up on those who stay. Lastly, compensation seems low compared to other EdTech companies/similair roles in other industries.

Cons
None that I can think of
