Pros

despite the negative rating here I enjoyed my time at hypergiant due to the awesome (rank and file) folks I worked with. Management and executive leadership on the other hand is a different story.

Cons

The idea and vision is solid and its easy to get sucked into start drinking the kool aid. But, when you take a step back and peel off the veneer that the cool retro marketing paints over everything the reality is very very different. The original founders and leadership are quite narrow minded and if you don't fit or ask hard questions they DO NOT like it and will let you know or worse just alienate folks before letting them go. As some other reviews here have suggested they do in fact have giant egos. Some new executive leadership folks came in months ago allegedly to help right the ship but they too have made some rash decisions in my opinion without fully understanding a situation or speaking with employees to get a grasp on their abilities and value. This has led a handful of talented folks to leave, be let go, or start looking elsewhere despite the run of recent press releases that hype up an image of unprecedented company success. Again like another reviewer already suggested it is very hard to reconcile the save the world and make the world a better place rhetoric when the majority of the work comes from oil and gas. It really just felt like the the CEO and marketing folks are opportunistic with current events to try and associate the company with what the current new story is or was especially in regards to climate change.
