Pluspunten

- great co-workers - you can learn a lot really fast - good office, fruits & coffee - HF discounts on boxes

Minpunten

- too much micro management - it is mandatory to go to work, remote work is not appreciated in the 21st century when all other companies want to implement remote work, HF does the least, they should measure the work done and how sincere an employee is as remote work is very productive for a lot of people. They can trust their employees. Generally companies that trust their employees have more loyal employees. It should seriously not be forced, may be more flexibility was better and a lot of people I know would have stayed longer at HF if there was not so much fuss about remote work policies - reaching office early was highly expected, flexible working hours don't exist at HF - early meetings 9 am or meetings during lunch hours 1 pm were a regular thing I mean they can be more considerate and keep meetings between 10 to 5 which are supposed to be the core working hours, a lot of people have german classes or sports classes in the morning, everything gets compromised, the work life balance gets compromised

Pluspunten

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Minpunten

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
