Pros

There are absolutely no pros about this company. There is no redeeming quality that I experienced during the time I that I was at HIIG.

Cons

This company is preparing to go public and upper management has stake in the company so will do anything, ethical, legal or not, to get things in order, but employees have nothing to gain from this and not be given any options. Management slave drives its employees, lies and will stab you in the back. During my interview, I asked about "work / life" balance and was lied to by an upper management member to my face that overtime was cyclical and was kept to a minimum. Absolute lie . During my stay at HIIG, I routinely worked 55-60 hours a week with many of my coworkers working even longer hours. Employees that have to take unplanned time off for any reason, or who voice opposition to the working hours are retaliated upon and often terminated. Management will pretend to care and listen when you have a legitimate problem but then will go behind your back and use what you have told them against you. I had this happen personally and saw it happen to many other employees. The turnover is insane at HIIG and management just cannot figure out why...no decent worker is going to stay and put up with that kind of treatment. HR Management has its hands tied. Additionally, benefits are terrible and expensive, but I do hear that they "might" be getting a 401K match! A benefit that every decent company on the planet already offers!

Pros

good people but lack of passion Pay is okay and PTO is good if you have been there for a long time.

Cons

They say that they encourage an entrepreneurial atmosphere but it is everything but. too much red tape and everything gets bottlenecked by corporate.
