HCSS reviews

This is a great company to work for, as I mentioned above, you will become part owner and enjoy all of the perks. So you must understand that the culture that is created here is one from a family perspective, an ownership thinking culture, which is why the hiring process has to be selective. When we hire here, it's for the long term, not short term which is why the interview process is so intense. It's tough, I will not sugar coat it, it's highly selective, tiring, and intense but if you're committed to it, then that will show and you will not have a problem....as long as you pass the assessment test. The test is what it is, take it, pass it, and move on but don't overlook it. The company has been around for almost 30 years now, the CEO created it from scratch. If you look at people who have done the same, built companies from nothing, their reviews aren't always going to be pretty. IE: Most CEOs in North America. Our CEO gets some tough criticism at times, but who doesn't in that position. Yes, he can come off harsh at times, but remember it's always business, never personal. I've listed it in the Cons sections for one reason, if you take feedback personally then don't apply here. Referring to a Friend: Understanding our hiring process, it's hard to recommend HCSS to a friend. While we may like our friends, it's hard to take the "friend" hat off when looking at them objectively. By all means, our referral system is excellent, but you need to first educate anyone who applies of our process and the rigors of it. If you do that then I give it a thumbs up, if not which many don't, then thumbs down. Even if your friend is a perfect candidate, checks off all the boxes, it's still no guarantee that they will be brought on board.

The training is brutal for entry-level developers, but once you get through it, work is pretty smooth sailing.
