      Difficult Company to Work for and With

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Innovative field of work. Cool building.

      Cons

      Every single employee is stressed out of their minds. This causes poor reactions to higher stress situations. Criticism to upper management results in yelling matches in the hallway and eventual firings. Their way only, no highway option. Upper management is difficult to work with, rarely takes advice or help. You will find yourself going in circles getting no real work done. Job titles are a joke. You do the work of a manager but are not compensated for it. Turn over rate is VERY high due to discouragement levels of employees.

      Exciting Engineering & Quality Coworkers - Highest Turn Over Rate Ever Experienced

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some of the most diverse and interesting engineering work you can find in Thurston County, probably all of Washington State. The people working there were all kind, talented and interesting individuals. The equipment on hand is state of the art and there is no wanting for new equipment. Massive potential in the industry. Lots of learning opportunities.

      Cons

      Working long hours and weekends is common and expected at HBS. Feedback is generally negative, focusing on what you were not able to accomplish. Due to the high turn over rate, the work load and content changes frequently and is often more than one person can handle. Job titles are crafted to increase working responsibility without warranting an increase in compensation.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      -unique and innovative products -stay connected to research in materials science, work with national labs and top universities -As a young engineer out of school, you can learn many valuable technical and project management skills

      Cons

      -Very high turnover. Don't expect to stay for more than a couple years, you'll quit or be fired -toxic culture, stemming from the top -understaffed and overworked, even before Covid -outdated & buggy software and resources, because of penny-pinching
