Pros

Highland Solutions is a great place to work -- the people and work we do make it so. Everyone is very driven and passionate about what they do, and they do it very well. I've worked with some of the best developers I have ever worked with -- the level of talent is really high. Leadership is exceptional -- our President is a well-rounded, honest, emotionally in-tune, visionary, and inspirational leader. The culture is fantastic too -- friendly people and a real emphasis and enforcement of healthy work/life balance. Last but not least, the projects we work on are meaningful and are set out to make a positive impact on people's lives. It's great to work for a company where people care about not just each other but also the people they are serving and the impact we are making in the world in general.

Cons

Highland is a small company, and as such some of the benefits are less than ideal as compared to bigger companies with greater sources of capital. Health insurance is kind of crummy, especially for families (high out-of-pocket costs), and there is no 401k match. They have introduced profit-sharing given better business outcomes, so leadership does care about doing right by their employees. Hopefully further and stable growth allows the company to improve health insurance and retirement benefits.

Pros

Leadership that actually cares about you as a person, management that puts trust in and gives autonomy to individual contributors, values driven organization that won't work with clients that do not align to our values, great people who you actually enjoy working with every day.

Cons

Small company so lacks some perks offered by larger firms, however your quality of life working here makes up for that.

Pros

I've been at Highland for almost two years now and I can genuinely say that I feel good about the work I do every day and think that Highland is poised for success in the years ahead. The company values can be seen in every decision made; the leadership team thinks not just about revenue but about the impact a decision will have on employees and our clients. Highland has evolved quite a bit in the past few years and is becoming less of a "dev shop" and more of a strategic consulting firm. This has meant we've been able to do some exciting and diverse work. It also means that our team is constantly evolving and learning new things. There is a ton of opportunity to expand your professional skill-set and work on a variety of projects here. Highland also truly supports work/life balance as well as bringing your "whole self" to work. There is a commitment to D&I and you can tell that the people who work here enjoy what they do and who they work with. There is absolutely no toxicity in the workplace and everyone's thoughts/feelings are respected. I can't say enough good things about the leadership team and their commitment to building a sustainable firm that has a positive impact on our community and the people we serve. Also, Highland recently upgraded our health insurance benefits and they're some of the best you can get.

Cons

It's is a small company and not looking to grow rapidly so if you're looking for a place to "climb the ladder" quickly, Highland might not be for you. Not sure that's a con- but something to note. Although there is profit sharing, there is no 401K match.
