All That Glitters Is Definitely Not Hudson Valley Lighting - Business Development Manager Hudson Valley Lighting Employee Review

Awesome people and very understanding culture

Work from home policy and hours

Beautiful office, nice product, some great colleagues

Working here is a lesson in how bad leadership can stifle a great brand. HVLG builds beautiful product, but behind the scenes, it is chaotic and demoralizing. Strategy changes on a whim, communication is non-existent, and the "culture" is essentially just obedience. I’ve seen departments operate on fumes because leadership refuses to invest in long-term strategy, opting instead to either offshore roles to save money or conveniently "restructure" the department only to quietly post those same jobs months later. It’s quite sad, actually. with even a sliver of competent, humble leadership, this company could be rivaling Visual Comfort at every turn. Instead, they’ve built an echo chamber where ego outranks competence. If you are willing to nod along and ignore the dysfunction, you'll have a long career here. If you value upward mobility, mentorship and safety, maybe look at one of their competitors.
