Where to start... H2M prides themselves on "company culture" yet, like other reviewers have said, make your utilization ratio one of the most important metrics to gauge the success of an employee. Yes, if "corporate culture" is analogous to a buzzing cube-farm, then H2M is the "culture" for you. Incredibly high turn over, especially of young employees (wish there was a statistic on the mid 20's mid 30's employees, but from my observation they seem to be the ones H2M has trouble retaining). While there are many long term employees, (the anecdotal story of "the CEO used to sweep the floors 3 decades ago" is getting old), you'd be surprised at what lowly positions licensed professionals hold after 10, 15, 20 years experience (well at least they got stock options!) unless your firm was bought out, then you go to the front of the line. Low pay compared to the local average, again, more so for young employees. Make sure you understand "bonus time" during your interview. To echo the sentiments of other employees, incredibly cliquey, political with the intra-office gossip that would make a high school blush.
They use buzzwords like "local" and "building communities" but then buyout, or take over local firms that pose even the slightest threat of competition under the guise of a "strategic merger". They also exploit exclusive arrangements with entities such as the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York ($5 mil contract) which were obtained through assumed rampant cronyism. They toot their horn at being "local" and "homegrown", yet embody everything wrong with the corporate mentality.
