Pros

I've been meaning to write this review for some time. Wanted to make sure I had enough time away from the place to reflect on the experience. There are very little pros to this place. You do get an opportunity to work on projects you aren't prepared for, so if you are a self-starter then you should be ok and you will grow from that exposure. Can't beat the 10-3 work flexibility and the dog friendly office. I think compensation is fair for Austin but there is no 401k match and health benefits are poor so it's really not worth it. Also, don't be fooled by the profit sharing aka ROC - there is little clarity about how it works.

Cons

The Hahn team is trying to make this review disappear. Remember they are PR people so they know what they are doing - working hard to obscure the truth about what it's really like to work at their awful company. My main piece of advice: work somewhere else, especially if you are a woman. Below is a revised version of my original review but keep in mind there is much more lurking below the surface of this review: -Mostly ALL members of leadership have only worked at Hahn for their ENTIRE career and seem to lack basic leadership, management or communication skills. They have very little experience and generally don't know what they are doing. -The owner seems very emotionally unstable and has often acted in a verbally abusive way to employees, not to mention highly inappropriate. -It feels like there is very little management at this place. Everything is shockingly disorganized and the systems and operations of running the place are seemingly non existent. -Revolving door of employees. People are hired and fired constantly with no regard to the implications on their lives. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on here, probably some sort of financial manipulation is happening when people get fired. -No HR systems in place, in fact someone was allegedly not hired because "they asked about HR during their interview" -It seems like everyone in Austin knows this place is a joke and sham -Clients will likely treat you like interns -I genuinely feel sad for anyone who works here because they aren't learning and growing and they are being manipulated to think it's a good place. Very sad for them since they don't know any better.

Sadly Doesn't Live Up To It's Potential

Pros

Hahn Public offers a very good work balance, and the opportunity to operate many levels above your job title/pay. Some might call that an opportunity for growth, but be careful of being taken advantage of.

Cons

Their only mindset is sink or swim. There's no support or training offered for any position. Either you fit into the mold, or are quickly ushered out. The turn over is very high and leads to unnecessary stress for the team and for clients. There's a certain group of employees who have been at Hahn for their whole careers - sadly, they have a narrow view of what is acceptable in a professional environment. They turn a blind eye to the blatant problems. The idea of Hahn being a value driven company is bogus. The owner uses those values to manipulate employees. Upon arrival, Hahn can seem like a great place to work, flexible, empathetic, team oriented, transparent. With the exception of flexibility, none of those are true. Based on how things were going when I left, I'm unsure of the team's ability to function. There's extreme disconnect between the departments, and I don't see that improving without serious intervention.

Pros

Work for a lot of different clients and learn how to utilize different tools. Really good learning experiences.

Cons

Leadership is pretty bad. It takes so long for things to move along. They are literally all talk and no action. It's like everything there moves in slow motion. Also don't really understand why the CEO is involved in client work? A lot of them have said they had a disinterest in working with him. This man will talk your ear off.
