Hyland reviews

I was caught up in the sudden mass lay off of over 100 employees at the beginning of 2021. It came on the heels of the company saying that it was in good shape and had weathered 2020 better than expected. Many of the affected employees had over a decade of experience - especially experience with the company's flagship product. The company made absolutely no effort to see if any of those employees could be reorganized into other roles to align with whatever their future vision is now. You can draw you own conclusions as to what that means for job security and whether the company values the contributions and experience of its employees.

Ignore the happy-go-lucky reviews from interns and new hires. Entry level and temporary individuals have no business reviewing a 25 year old company. Everything seems great when you're oblivious and new. We have successfully hired a plethora of dopes in all of our technical departments, and are terrible at firing these people or bothering to correct it. Our in-house training is a waste of everyone's time and money. It's watered down garbage that provides no value to anyone. QA's entry requirements seem to be "breathing, can sit in a chair, configured grandmas internet once." There are so many nontechnical people trying to be technical, it only impedes progress and makes work more work than it needs to be. The department needs to have better hiring standards and realize that QA isn't a job you give to anyone that knows how to jailbreak their iPhone. Saying technical things seems to be more valuable than actually DOING technical things. More precisely: Spouting less than correct technobabble gets you on that fast track to success. If you are quiet and just do your thing, being a competent employee gets you nowhere. Contrary to what you may be lead to believe from our feel-good advertising, we have a lot of sloppy, inconsiderate coworkers. From the awful parking, to whatever they do to our bathrooms, it's a real mess. If you enjoy sugary beverages, you have to pay for them now. You also have to buy them elsewhere. We're a strictly diet/garbage water company now. The company does things that make no sense. We manage people, department moves, and company expansion like we're trying to sabotage ourselves.
