Avoid working for this place at all costs. - Instructional Designer Halight Employee Review

Halight is a very welcoming and inclusive environment to work at. Through a variety of different talents, skills, and forms of creativity, each of Halight’s employees have something unique to offer in solo and group projects. When I first began my job, there were so many questions and things I was curious to learn about; along the way, many of my coworkers put their time aside to help me succeed. Halight is not just a place to work, but it is also like family. The people there are helpful, considerate, and most importantly, kind.

In my opinion, there are no cons.

Pros: The people doing the grit work, work hard and are nice people.

Cons: I don’t recommend working here. I worked at Halight for a 1 1/2 years and have found the work culture to stem from very toxic management, which I experienced first hand. I also experience and witnessed multiple accounts of racism and toxic behaviour from numerous members of management. The company seems nice and good at first, however if you don’t go along with their toxic + hustle culture they will try to fire you or find reason to do so, but in my case they couldn’t do either because I’m a good employee. So instead they tried to make my life miserable, as I dealt with mental health issues and a global pandemic. I don’t need to explain myself, however I do feel like I must warn others about this company before they get into it. You’ll also notice that the turnover rate is extremely high; people don’t stay at toxic work environments. Contrary to previous reviews, the company does not feed you. The benefits are bare minimum and no vision coverage. The company does not provide very much support for remote working. To me, it seems as if they want your talent but don’t care about your well-being.
