Hyland reviews

- Absolutely no career advancement, despite the lip-service and hype. - Changes to R&D department since "new leadership" took over has many confused. Morale is very low on average. With all of the recent changes for the worse, it is nothing short of a miracle that this company still makes any "best of" list. It just is not deserving. Not any more. The propaganda generation shining up the outside view is rivaled only by the inside spin machine. HR is excellent at rallying the troops, particularly the newer ones, to vote in popularity polls. After all, we have slides and a market-priced diner! Hyland was once an innovator working hard to become a shiny star by working around obstacles and going above and beyond expectations. Leadership now is talking to outside consultants and trying to make itself like any other large company. It is now more about being like every one else. How is that going to work long term? We have meeting after meeting with ex-marketing and sales people explaining the visions which, when distilled, seem to be of little substance.

After two rounds of layoffs, company culture is virtually nonexistent. Team members are treated more or less as a cog in a machine that can be replaced anytime. Expectations are typically unrealistic and not really what customers want, which reflects poorly on the teams who worked hard to make things happen instead of heads of product taking the fall. All those with the most knowledge have been cut and replaced by contractors or new members in India with a lack of documentation and are expected to "fix the problem for good", even if they don't know where to start. Overall, this will result in a slowdown of research and development and a loss of customers. This company is headed towards bankruptcy, or they'll probably use whatever money they have left to acquire companies and treat them as assets before they close shop.
