Pros

Some managers genuinely care and do their best, and many colleagues are talented and are hardworking

Cons

This place will work you to exhaustion, then spit you out. Turnover is relentless. People are regularly let go without explanation. Project managers in particular cycled out at an alarming rate, leaving instability and fear in their wake. Leadership talks endlessly about process and structure, but rarely follows it. Rules shift depending on who’s in favor. What looks like order on paper is mostly just performative theater. Anonymous 360 feedback is highly toxic. People are friendly and positive to your face, then sharpen the knife and stab you in the back with pages of anonymous criticism. There is no chance to respond. Critical work was often handed off with deadlines that could not be met. Raising risks or pushing back was pointless, as leadership’s focus was making promises, not delivering sustainably. Advancement is political. Visibility and alliances matter more than real contribution. Those who play the game rise. Credit for ideas is routinely stolen. Work shared internally is later presented by others without acknowledgment. The culture burns people out, then shows them the door. This isn’t performance management, it’s churn management.

Pros

Great colleagues who are mostly very talented people.

Cons

Sadly you have to be related to the Chairman or be friends with the CEO to make any strides in the company. One thing that was particularly grating is how I and a group of employees were referred to as "little baby hublets" when we joined the company by a member of senior management (by nepotism). But this just fits the overall ethos of the company, you are hired to do a job but if you haven't learned it at Huble then you are deemed to have the intelligence/skills of a baby! Compensation is average with no benefits or perks and you are constantly told that you need to be recuperating 2x your salary in billable activity, while management have their exclusive meetings where they do nothing but 'look important'. They only get involved in client work when there is a problem and they make the issue 10 times worse.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience at Huble and we take these concerns very seriously. Firstly, we want to address your comments regarding the workplace culture and advancement opportunities. We strive to create an inclusive environment where all employees feel valued and have equal opportunities for growth. Over the past year, we have built out a career path framework so that every role in the business has level one to nine, and people are only promoted once they reach the requirements for the next level. It is disheartening to hear that you felt nepotism was a barrier to your progression. We are committed to fairness and transparency in our hiring and promotion processes. Regarding the comments made by a member of senior management, we deeply regret any offense caused. Respect and professionalism are core to our values, and the intention would never be to make comments that are derogatory. In a global company like Huble, we need to take extra care as different cultures interpret the meaning in different ways. We take pride in hiring new talent, people that are smart that bring something new to the table which is crucial to our growth. We will continue to bring in fresh amazing skills at all levels and in all regions of our business, and do not by any means consider any skill acquired outside of Huble to be at a beginner’s level. We also acknowledge your concerns about compensation and the expectations placed on employees. In the last year in order to ensure we provide competitive compensation packages, we purchased 3rd party independent salary data and matched this to the career path levels referenced above. If there are areas where we can improve, in particular since this is year one of this initiative, we welcome that feedback and will work towards making necessary changes. Finally, we have a dedicated and passionate leadership team that spends considerable time reviewing, planning, and initiating changes across the business, tackling problems head-on. These regular, important meetings shape the business for the better, and we want to emphasize their significance. We appreciate your frustration with management's involvement in client work. Our leadership team is frequently engaged in client delivery, underscoring the importance of our client relationships. Two months ago, we restructured to bring our senior team closer to our customers than ever before. We continue to review our processes to ensure that management support is constructive and beneficial to both our employees and clients. We appreciate your candid feedback as it helps us to improve. Your insights are invaluable to us as we continue to strive for a better workplace for everyone. PS: We conduct pulse surveys to provide our team with the opportunity for feedback. Users are completely anonymous (100% NOT tracked), and we take extensive measures to ensure their privacy, as we believe this fosters the most honest responses. Additionally, team members are regularly encouraged by their line managers, team managers, senior leadership, and HR to provide face-to-face feedback. We also schedule quarterly check-ins with leadership for input and offer mediated and protected feedback opportunities for those who may not feel comfortable with direct line management communication or anonymous feedback. If you are open to discussing your experiences further, please feel free to reach out to HR directly.

Pros

Most colleagues work remote Work schedule is quite flexible No meetings expected outside of your time zone Genuinely focused on serving their customers Peers are chill and human, there is no political rivalry

Cons

Overall compensation package is less than average as there are no bonuses, no perks like additional paid training for career advancement, and no non-mandatory heath care benefits. Employees are treated like a body shop resources by the management, rather than professionals. Very hierarchical - employees do not get to actively participate in decision making on issues or work that impacts them, and as a result not made to feel part of the team. Simply told what to do without feedback gathering either 1:1 or employee all-hands ( there is none) Promotions within the company seem to place more emphasis on loyalty more than caliber, which results in some less than optimal leadership in terms of experience and caliber.

Thank you for submitting your review. Our tagline is "seek evolution", for our customers we are constantly seeking to evolve their businesses and internally we are constantly seeking to evolve our employee value proposition and encourage our teams to evolve in their careers. To address specific points: They key part of our employee value proposition is "be you" which means we don't force people into offices, we also don't force people into benefits packages that don't suit their needs rather we make sure it is clear that we pay salaries that include a portion to select your own benefits packages, or if you don't need one as you're covered by a family member then you get to rather spend that on other things that are important to you. No meetings expected outside of your time zone - although we strive for this and this is listed as a pro, there are many times where colleagues collaborate within other timezones. As this sometimes happens outside of normal work hours we allow flexibility in schedules. Bonuses - there are incentive schemes for sales roles and referral schemes for all staff, and for anyone nominated to be in the "principals" program. The principals program is a peer nominated program for high performers. Paid training for career advancement - unfortunately at the size we are (180 at the time of writing) we don't have the resources to pay for training all our employees in areas that they are not hired in. Rather we hire people with a skillset to do their job, and ensure managers and other senior members of the team are able to coach and train those more junior employees. Body shop resources - we are a professional services company and our billable target rate for all employees is 66% or less for managers, this means though that we have engineered our business model to ensure that all our consultants have time for other things besides delivering work to our clients. Employee participation in decision making - we highly value employee participation, we conduct employee pulse surveys and analyse results, we have an anonymous survey that is checked weekly, we hold a weekly leadership meeting where leaders are asked for feedback from their teams, and we conduct a quarterly planning session where we encourage employees to submit their ideas. Employee all hands - this takes place (and has always taken place) in the first 3 weeks of every quarter, in addition we have a bi-monthly shorter staff update. This is scheduled in all employees calendars and is compulsory to attend. Promotions on loyalty - all promotions are based on merit. All employees have quarterly KPI's set and feedback sessions are held with every employee, this is monitored by our HR team to ensure no one is left out of this process. It is the performance data from these quarterly reviews that determine speed of career trajectory. We invite you to get in touch with HR and have a private conversation if you feel any of our responses does not alleviate your concerns.
