Thank you for your feedback. An important theme that you've touched on is our exponential growth experienced in such a short amount of time. We, as an organization, are continually thinking of ways in which we can keep our employees engaged, challenged, supported and steered towards advancement opportunities. As we work through these themes, we encourage all employees to explore the avenues that are available, such as out internal job postings board. If comfortable, we encourage you to reach out to HR directly to continue this discussion.

Pluspunten

Working at HBK has been the best experience ever. Their culture is very much relaxed and trusting. If you're doing what you're supposed to do the managers wont bother you. No micromanaging AT ALL!! I've worked in toxic environments before and after almost three years at HBK, its NEVER been toxic.

Minpunten

Their pay is on the lower side but honestly it doesn't matter because its such a healthy work environment.

Pluspunten

Health Benefits were good, mainly because HBK was part of Quanta Really great people Fun activities like galas, sport events, etc. Healthy worklife balance

Minpunten

1 week maternity/paternity leave Low pay and disappointing annual bonuses - getting exceeds expectations doesn't result in big pay bumps Change management is non-existent - employees are given little notice on changes and expected to fall in line with no discussion Not a lot of growth opportunity Not a lot of training for middle management High turnover rate for engineers and project managers
