The people who work there.

Minpunten

HBK is one of the most hypocritical companies I've worked with. The CEO and senior leadership team is weak and incompetent, at best. They talk about how great it is to work there and how there are so many career opportunities. Many employees take on new responsibilities with the promise of more money or a promotion in 6 months or during their annual review. It never happens. There is always an excuse for why the promotion or raise cannot be given. It's unprofessional to set those expectations with employees who work really hard, only to find there is no reward as promised. The sector leads are really the ones who run the business but even they are limited in what they can do for employees because they do not have authority to give raises or promotions and they also don't have access to some of the basic information most people at their level have in order to run and manage employees. HBK has had a mass exodus of employees over the past couple of years - everyone who left has had the same experience. The hire mostly from Iowa or the CEO's golf caddies, pay the very minimal and work them ragged. Same with the rest of the staff. If you do have experience, they do not pay competitively. Success early on in the company has gone to entire management teams heads, they are ego maniacs and don't care about employees. They are like a high-school click, if you weren't part of the original team from 15+ years ago, you are just a number in payroll.

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.

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
