Pros

If you're reading this, you're looking for some insight to a prospective employer, hopefully you wont take the negative ones at face value. Highland is a great place to work. The company culture is unlike one you'll find in a corporate setting. Highland very seriously cares about your insight and making a comfortable environment for you to work in. I have seen this company value it's employees to the point of bending over backwards to accommodate a dissatisfied employee. The upper management always has their door open and HR is professional, but down to earth and approachable.. Highland also takes your opinion into consideration and recognizes hard work. Management places alot of trust on each individual, if you're not a self starter, this is not the place for you. You'll love your co workers and the environment and yes your position may require some long hours from time to time, but you're able to move up and have an effective, positive impact on the companies success. I feel as work life management is a personal responsibility, not any demand of the company. You as a Professional. should be able to manage your time effectively.The office is nice as well.

Cons

Operational Process's and team structure need some addressing. It can be frustrating, but the Company is working on it. Highland runs a lot on the basis of individual trust and capability. Unless you speak up and say you have an issue or difficulty, they will assume all is well.

Pros

Leadership that actually cares about you as a person, management that puts trust in and gives autonomy to individual contributors, values driven organization that won't work with clients that do not align to our values, great people who you actually enjoy working with every day.

Cons

Small company so lacks some perks offered by larger firms, however your quality of life working here makes up for that.

Pros

I've been at Highland for almost two years now and I can genuinely say that I feel good about the work I do every day and think that Highland is poised for success in the years ahead. The company values can be seen in every decision made; the leadership team thinks not just about revenue but about the impact a decision will have on employees and our clients. Highland has evolved quite a bit in the past few years and is becoming less of a "dev shop" and more of a strategic consulting firm. This has meant we've been able to do some exciting and diverse work. It also means that our team is constantly evolving and learning new things. There is a ton of opportunity to expand your professional skill-set and work on a variety of projects here. Highland also truly supports work/life balance as well as bringing your "whole self" to work. There is a commitment to D&I and you can tell that the people who work here enjoy what they do and who they work with. There is absolutely no toxicity in the workplace and everyone's thoughts/feelings are respected. I can't say enough good things about the leadership team and their commitment to building a sustainable firm that has a positive impact on our community and the people we serve. Also, Highland recently upgraded our health insurance benefits and they're some of the best you can get.

Cons

It's is a small company and not looking to grow rapidly so if you're looking for a place to "climb the ladder" quickly, Highland might not be for you. Not sure that's a con- but something to note. Although there is profit sharing, there is no 401K match.
