Pros
The team at HSP is truly unparalleled. From the most junior to the most senior professional, the people are a highlight of the organization. Employees at HSP strive for excellence and are incredibly supportive (both professionally and personally). The culture is very collegial and collaborative with a good mix of hardworking and fun. From extra “surprise” monetary bonuses over the years to fun teambuilding trips & activities to handwritten cards and even sending flowers to a team member feeling down, the founders are incredibly generous and thoughtful. They do everything in their power to make HSP a place you want to stay for a long time. Almost half of the team has been at the firm for over 7 years, which is unheard of in today’s times. Everyone genuinely cares about one another, and often we feel more like friends/family than co-workers. It’s not a hierarchical place at all; there is an “open door” policy and senior leadership will always make time for the team. Hard work is rewarded, and I am incredibly proud to work here.
Cons
The hours can be long at times, but this ebbs and flows, and over the course of a year, there is a lot of flexibility, including summer Fridays and a hybrid remote work policy. There is some unpredictability and uncertainty around the timing of our busy season, which can make it challenging to plan. That said, the team has an all-hands on deck mindset and pushes through to deliver the best results to our clients, and I’ve come to cherish some of the memories from our late nights together.
