Engine Reviews

I'm mostly leaving this review to make sure people aren't duped by the abundance of positive reviews. The marketing team is incentivizing people to leave good reviews on Glassdoor with hotel credits. Make sure you sort by Most Recent, read beyond just the first page, and note the tenure of the people who leave reviews. In addition, the majority of the people featured in the company photos are no longer with the company. I'm also writing to make sure that people know there have been accusations of harassment against different male leaders in the company as well as reports of extreme gender insensitivity by one very visible leader in particular. Accusers and their supporters have been asked by people team leaders to forget about them, leading to a stressful environment, a decline in mental health, and quitting completely HE has 11 "DNA" traits that they want people to exhibit, but none of them have equal weight. Will to Win will always be the priority, even if that means being toxic about how to get there. Believe the negative reviews. None of them are over exaggerations. There's no room for criticism of leaders, no clear growth path for non-sales roles, ridiculous quotas, a CEO with an enormous ego, and a VP team that enables it. Stay far away if you care about being in a safe, supportive environment where you'll want to stay for a long time. You'll only get far if you don't shake the table, don't ask questions, and just drink the kool-aid.

They hired a new CTO and he ruined everything. He restructured engineering and created massive layoffs cutting entire departments. Not just once, but they've had multiple cycles of layoffs, and from what I hear, still more to come. I have many friends still working at HE and I will say company culture and morale are at an ALL TIME LOW. Everyone is afraid they'll be laid off at any time. Nobody feels valued anymore. I also keep hearing the CTO uses lots of "sports" analogies which is silly and I know annoys some people. We were hitting our financial and booking goals every single week making crazy money. HE was doing SO well. I expected a very long, successful career there, but I guess in the end the company only cares about cutting costs and not its employees. I suggest everyone keeps their resume updated as they are expendable.
