Pros

- Nice office location - Allow most of their employees to work from home at least two or three days per week

Cons

- Management puts completely unrealistic expectations on their employees. I had enough work to do for at least three full-time engineers. As a result I was working 12 - 15 hour days at least 6 days a week just to try and keep up. Even then it wasn't possible. - Management does not care about or understand the daily problems being faced. When I would explain the issues we faced and that it was going to take weeks and possibly even months to rectify I was still expected to turn it around on a dime. - Very high pressure placed on you to meet totally unrealistic deadlines. Sizings are completely ignored when you give them. This happens to one extent or another at a lot of companies but at HC this was quite over the top. - Huge employee turnover. The best people come and go so quickly you hardly realize they were even there.

Pros

- it's a good "respectable" place to have in your resume - High turnover, so if you don't like somebody you work with it's unlikely you'll be working with them for long. - Some of the people there really rocks, too bad they leave early.

Cons

Oh boy, this is going to be a long list... - You're doing a good job only if you're kissing the right asses. Independent thought is highly discouraged. - Management doesn't have a clear career plan for anybody. You're stuck in the position you're hired. - The tools provided to you are ridiculous: I had to buy my own laptop bag. Seriously? - Rule thru fear only goes so far. In this case, makes people afraid to innovate. HC is the least innovative company I worked for in my life. - Product Management discipline is nonexistent, led by a person that doesn't know the first thing about it. The only good PM is marginalized in favor of the usual brown noses. - The salary, benefits and office decoration are truly disgraceful, people are stashed against each other in a way that makes everybody unproductive.
