      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management acceptance and support to staff to enable staff to work individually and within dynamic teams with self guidance. Ability to travel when important to the job. Skill building training. Dynamic, entrepreneurial environment encourages individuality. Global scope and interactive with groups in other divisions and countries.

      Cons

      As with many dynamic companies, there is a need to educated all members on how to make wise choices about costs that detract from P&L.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      HB offered many opportunities for career growth, and I worked in a number of different positions through promotion over the years. The work was always challenging, and management always 'has your back' when it comes to communicating with executive management or the corporate parent. As a global company, there were many opportunities for domestic and international travel... if you like that sort of thing. Pay was "ok". While I received increases with my promotions, they didn't compete with salaries for the same positions at other companies. On the other hand, the benefits and culture made it worth staying. I finally left to pursue other interests.

      Cons

      I've seen much of the company change due to growth over the years. During most of that time, the world, industry and customers were changing while senior management continued to do things much the same way they had when the company was small. Fortunately, that changed and much of the incumbent management has moved on and been replaced with more progressive thinkers and movers. While the company worked toward bringing the US and EU companies closer together, there where a number of individuals I would consider "empire builders" who were in a situation of serious competition that often interfered with team performance objectives.

      Good company, but size is concern to achieve good results.

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good technology firm in the Detroit area. They are located where they need to be around the world to do business with their customers. The global leadership is strong within the business units, but they don't seem to work together at all. The senior management seemed to communicate to their teams enough.

      Cons

      Very big company that is spread around the world. The engineering teams are mostly in Europe, but the Sales and Marketing teams are in the USA. Information is sometimes very difficult to find within the company. There is a cultural difference between the EU and US teams that was a challenge.
