Pros
Five stars for the incredible team. I was lucky to work alongside some truly great, talented people. Good opportunities to work on some very fun projects. Additionally, being a part of a fast-paced, high momentum business was rewarding in terms of upward growth beyond Hourglass, both personally and professionally.
Cons
Three stars for the overall lack of trust and empowerment from leadership. If you are in a creative (or adjacent) field, be prepared for your work to be reviewed multiple times over through an incredibly rigorous and slow approval process. Do not expect to push the status quo here. This is not a business that appreciates new, out of the box ideas. You will work in office 3x days a week with little to no flexibility or understanding from management or HR. Zero growth opportunities within company with constantly moving goalposts. Absolutely no workplace culture.
