      The company is not what it used to be.

      Pros

      Still a diversified industrial manufacturing company where you can pursuer career opportunities in a variety of markets

      Cons

      Management seems more focused on pursuing social causes instead of serving customers. Too many executive management appointments where the new executive is “Uniquely Qualified” for the role. This is code for “has no prior experience in the function or market”.

      Overall HIS is a GREAT place to be; but beware of AIP & ask for 3 weeks vacation to start

      Pros

      Amazing work-life balance; WFH/remote option; generally extremely intelligent co-workers; excellent workplace atmosphere; wonderful health benefits; great vacation; reduced stock purchase plan is fantastic; 401k is 5%-income match.

      Cons

      Very very poor middle management; performance reviews are a joke (sadly) and there is a forced distribution such that everyone essentially gets a 3 (on a scale from 1 to 5); nearly impossible to get rid of people who are worthless (they end up quitting or stay forever).
