Pluspunten
Ethical and Supportive Leadership – The leadership, including CEO Anil Singh and then VP Venkatram, genuinely care about the people they bring in. They don’t just treat employees like numbers.
✅ Smooth Transition to the U.S. – From day one, they made sure I was set up properly. I was given a place to stay (Anil’s first home in the U.S.), a $5,000 advance paycheck, and personal support to get my paperwork in order.
✅ Personal Attention – VP Venkatram personally drove me to the SSA office and even took me out for lunch afterward. They made sure I didn’t crash from jet lag, ensuring I started my journey right.
✅ Integrity in Business Practices – Unlike many body shops that treat people as disposable, Hanu took responsibility for their hires. They didn’t engage in shady dealings or exploitative practices.
✅ Real Opportunities – They provided a legitimate pathway for skilled professionals to establish themselves in the U.S., not just as a stepping stone but as a place to build something solid.
Minpunten
Some Unethical Employees Took Advantage – A few individuals who benefited from Hanu’s support turned around and badmouthed the very people who helped them. Instead of appreciating the opportunity, they spread negativity.
❌ Tough Industry to Navigate – While Hanu itself was ethical, the broader consulting industry is full of people who don’t play fair. Sometimes, it felt like doing the right thing wasn’t enough when others around were cutting corners.
❌ Growth Challenges – Like any company, Hanu had to balance growth while maintaining its ethical standards. Some people saw this as a limitation, but I’d take integrity over shortcuts any day.
