Pros

Salary was competitive for the role

Cons

- It did not matter what you can do, but whether you can be politically liked - A lot of the support functions were led by people who should not be at that senior role - Allergic to improvement and working to get to best standards - not a place of excellence or talent

We wish you all the very best in the future, as I note you are a former employee. I was sad for you when I read your post. I note you have left HKA, yet if you prefer to talk then do reach out to me. While respecting this is your opinion, we do see it differently, as do the vast majority of our team members. HKA is a collaborative and high-performing culture. Decisions are based on merit, and HKA has a flat structure to ensure we improve and grow, as the results prove we are doing. Thanks for all you did to help HKA. , Best always, Kate HKA’s Chief People Officer
