Pros

HED has one of the best work cultures I’ve seen. Managers trust you to do your job and don’t micromanage. They really care about their employees and understand that we all have personal lives. The company is very supportive and helps you maintain a good work-life balance. It’s a great place to work where you feel respected and valued.

Cons

Being remote can sometimes make it harder to feel as connected as in-office employees, especially when it comes to spontaneous conversations or visibility. However, the company is aware of this and is actively working on ways to include remote staff better through team meetings, check-ins, and company-wide events.
