good - Senior Software Engineer HDL Employee Review

Flexible, Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun

None, Can’t, Won’t, Because, Why

The company has a great mission: to beat heart disease. It has so much potential.

Where to even begin. HR might be a nice place to start, though much of the problem (too many HR people, all friends of the head of HR) has been dealt with as HR is a sliver of the size it used to be (and could probably even be smaller). HR was a toxic place run by what amounted to a clique of sorority girls. I have never seen more inept people in positions of leadership than I see at HDL. The people who should be running the company have either been terminated by management through layoffs, left on their own terms, or are being bossed around by people who do not understand even the most basic management principles. The two biggest problems at the company are: 1. the egos running it that contribute to an extremely poisonous internal environment 2. the lack of understanding and external relationships (with insurance companies) by management on what they have to do in order to turn the company around.
