They have a reputation of mass layoffs. I knew this going in and I wish I had listened to those who told me. I really wanted the best for HB, but they never seemed to know what they wanted for themselves.
Hours were long, work-life balance sucked and demands were unrealistic. Leadership was vague, unsupportive, and sent mixed messages. Feedback was never clear and direct. Fire at will was a best practice. They don’t care about your career growth nor are they willing to train you to learn things outside of your core skillset. It’s easier for them to fire you and find someone else.
If you do decide to work here despite the other horrible reviews I’ll give you one piece of advice: Ask for your equity to vest on DAY ONE, not after one year. Maybe then the organization would consider investing in you as they expect you to invest in them.
And those glowing reviews from December 2017 are hilariously from the leadership trying to fluff their Glassdoor rating. Nice try! Maybe if you didn’t treat people as disposable objects you wouldn’t have to do that.
