Pros

Good company with good people. Laid back culture (core of business is out of the UK), skilled professionals. Competitive pay.

Cons

Challenge with strategic direction. PE owned, and with each new PE owner the winds tend to shift. Not unique in today's corporate world but still it can be disruptive from an alignment standpoint if you are looking for consistency.

Thank you so much for sharing your views as a former employee. We appreciate all you have achieved to help us grow and improve HKA together. Wishing you luck in your next venture. Great to read that you had a positive experience and gave HKA four stars – thank you. Especially lovely to note you said “good company with good people…skilled professionals…competitive pay” – thank you. Thanks for sharing your views on the Cons. We respect that this is your view, yet we do see our Private Equity investors slightly differently, particularly as we also have a large % of our Partners owning HKA which brings a very healthy dynamic to our progress. We are always grateful for the financial capital that our PE investors have given us and continue to give us; as this helps us to grow and improve. Like any Board, they are our “critical friends” with the motives to push for more progress to help our Clients, our People, and our Business Performance. Ultimately we think our People including our global Partner team and with our Private Equity investors are a winning combination for HKA and gives us an even better and bigger future. Many, many thanks again for sharing your views and for all you did for HKA. Please do keep well and keep in touch with us. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer.
