HMSA reviews

- hierarchical management style; very top/down, non-inclusive decisions and horrible company culture - there is no work-life balance; work is your life and if the pandemic never happened, you’d be living in the HMSA building! Where’s HR when your manager’s calling while you’re out on sick leave asking for project status?! There are no boundaries or comprehension of “personal time”… your life is HMSA. - management and the company doesn’t care about growing their employees, rather they can venture out and seek supposed “cheaper” outsourced vendors like Infinite and First Source to do the job (which by the way they’ve let go of 200+ employees and outsourced many more). These outsourced employees are then being asked to train their replacements. - bad strategic approach and high, costly expenses for projects that status and fall through with low to no return. - super low pay for employees hidden under the facade of “non-profit” company while the executives and management bring in a hefty bonus each year on top of their salaries that are higher than any of the minions below them. - there is no diversity and inclusion at HMSA. They have small groups that seem diverse and inclusive, but look at everyone that sits up top at HMSA and tell me they aren’t part of the privileged groups in Hawaii; specifically Caucasian or Asian decent and never any female CEO’s. Dr. Mark is a prime example of the elite because he hires most of his friends into high positions and doesn’t care about his employees in company posts, brags about his trips taken or life in general and frankly, leading the company to failure.

Management is something of a vast parking lot for the tenured. Job titles and responsibilities bear no resemblance to the skills and knowledge ordinarily expected of those in such positions. Because of this, you will have to endure a nightmare marathon of completely unproductive meetings wherein posturing and gladhanding substitute for intelligent conversation. It is like welfare for those who have been around for a long time and would do or say anything to keep in the running for the pension plan, which they have thankfully stopped. As such, the expensive tools sit around unused for years while the 'leaders' balk and blink and stare. The people who actually understand core functions are subjected to the firewall of inane meetings where subjects which are easily searched and learned on the internet are second-guessed and 'consensus' becomes the stone pushed by Sisyphus. Consultants are ignored as well, down to the definition of common words. The result is a haven for those who seemingly have no desire to read and learn or change the way of doing things, leaving a core group of competent individuals somewhat overworked to keep things running as the others merrily tend to spreadsheets, arcane tracking and unreadable documentation, the useless phalanx of Confederacy of Dunces meetings and two hour lunches in the middle of six hour days. Fun for all!
