Casual racism, sexism, and other discrimination is permitted and was actually encouraged during my time at HI. One of the top execs made an incredibly tone deaf "All Lives Matter"/Blue Lives Matter speech at an all hands and received a lot of support from other executives and middle management alike.
The company says that they are trying to "disrupt" the 401k industry but take every step to corporatize and mimic other traditional, outdated financial institutions. Middle management and other employees get fired without warning or reason, even when their teams are overwhelmed and overworked. Friends of execs are hired to replace them. Multiple teams have been moved from salary to hourly in 2021, and their work is starting to be either micromanaged or off-shored altogether. Job security is at an all time low.
When I left, they hired a friend of one of the directors to replace me. They're paying that person $30,000+ more than they paid me. On the other hand, I've had friends who've worked in their position for almost 2 years and have only had one raise of $5,000 or less. You will not get promoted at this job unless you're buddy buddy with one of the VPs or chiefs.
Also, the product is a mess. However, instead of fixing the automation, the company is trying to use manpower to make up for broken software and blaming employees for not being able to keep up. I also hear that the customer experience is extremely poor as well (due to the poor product, not the CS team).
