Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your time at Hanover. It is true that after a few years the project cycle can become repetitive for some teams. We are trying to introduce more rotation opportunities for staff internally to gain a different perspective and learn different skills.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We do have great coworkers and get to do interesting work for a variety of clients. As a small company, we have to stay nimble in order to serve an ever changing market. This means that our strategies or protocols may change more often than in larger organizations and it can feel a little disorganized at times. We don't believe innovation can happen without some disorganization or change in direction but recognize that it can be jarring for staff. We would be open to any recommendations or suggestions you may have about offsetting the impact of the changes or providing staff with more support for their workloads.

Pros

Though I've been here for less than a year, I can safely say that coming to Hanover has been one of the best decisions of my professional career. Having worked for a handful of companies, this is easily the best on-boarding experience I've ever had and I am confident that I have received and still receive the training and the guidance needed to excel in my position. My manager and the entire leadership team are incredibly accessible, honest and straightforward. Expectations are high but we have the resources and incentives needed to deliver. There are clearly opportunities for growth and just about the entire leadership team has grown from within the company, which is very rare. Finally, we offer a service that can have an immediate and long-term impact on our customer's success. I truly enjoy coming to work, collaborating with others internally and consider it a privilege to represent the company.

Cons

We work at a very fast pace and sometimes it can be hard to keep your head above water. It's definitely not for everyone and there will be turnover but so far, it's been a great fit me
