Pros

Good bonus at the end of the year and stock options. Has a pretty good hold on a good niche market.

Cons

There seems to be too much emphasis on business culture but yet dismissing employee wellbeing during this pandemic. The company has set a goal of returning to the office on September 1 and months ago lifted any mask requirements. There is no requirement to get vaccinated as well. I'm not sure what the response is to the delta variant that has taken over. Texas is one of the worst states for vaccination rates and infections and Fort Bend county in particular is having a huge spike. I am pretty nervous about walking into a situation where I will be spending 8 plus hours a day around individuals with no mask and who may not be vaccinated. I wish there was some communication about our response to this. We should be watching the data and reacting appropriately.

It has been our intent throughout this pandemic to make sure that our employee’s well-being was held at a high priority, and that is still the case. Between touchless doors, hand sanitizing stations at all entry points, touchless paper towel dispensers, and free KN95 masks and face shields for all employees, we have made an effort to make all employees feel safe if working at the office (which is still optional). We have also installed a UV system in our air conditioner that allows for the air to be cleaned of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens before entering a room. The stance has been since the beginning of this pandemic that if schools are closed, we will offer remote work. If schools are open, then we will return to work as of September 1st. We continue to monitor these decisions as well as infection rates and make decisions accordingly. We will not be requiring vaccination for employees. However, we are setting aside space in our 3rd building specifically for any employees who want to take extra precautions. Work stations will be at minimum 6 feet apart (likely more) and masks will be required for anyone entering this area. We will be providing all employees with a small emblem to put outside their office/ workstation, notating that a mask is required to enter their work area.

Pros

I love HCSS. The people are great, the work is fun and interesting, and our customers love us. The work life balance is great, and there is also a lot of opportunity to grow and move around within the company. A previous review mentioned we are "force-fed" Trump politics by the CEO, which seems like a ridiculous statement to me. Mike will share about his political activity a few times a year via email, and it is always done in a respectful manner. So as a pro, I'll say that your political beliefs are almost totally irrelevant at HCSS. Nobody is going to tell you what you should or should not think or believe. Health insurance is great. PTO rolls over infinitely. I think the company handled the COVID situation very well. The new work from home policy is pretty good. The campus is AWESOME. The company is growing fast.

Cons

Base pay is below average, but comes out to be pretty fair if profit sharing is good (which it usually is). The new maternity/paternity leave policy is kind of nice, but is quite a bit less than what most tech companies offer.
