Pros
1. The principals and partners are very intelligent, nice and fun to work with. 2. You can take the skills you learn at HRG to any company. 3. Since the company is small (<20 people) you get to work on a bit of everything. This can also be a con since there isn't much staff to split the work. 4. HRG is well known in the MMM industry; however, there are also many innovative competitors. Most, if not all, of them are on the non-compete you will sign on your first day of working at HRG.
Cons
1. Rules. Rules. Rules. Every time Sean Rice becomes upset over an issue, he creates a new rule, effective immediately. The other reviews are true - no cell phones, frowned-upon internet usage, kitchen duty, the list goes on. He runs the office like a dictatorship - only his opinions matter. 2. High turnover rate. The reason for this is because employees find better opportunities at other companies. 3.The technology is outdated. Computers are slow, and there is a constant need to ask for more server space, which is difficult since IT is outsourced to a different company. There is an employee who also does IT, but he only works part time, and most of his time is allocated to serving Sean Rice's personal needs (eg: making menus and installing TVs in his house). 4. The office is located in Tarrytown, which does not have much to offer in terms of lunch options or after work happy hour locations.
