HyperionDev Reviews

Since leaving their employ, I have been following Glassdoor reviews and noting the PR department’s increasingly desperate attempts to counter the growing number of negative reviews by pressuring new employees to leave five-star ratings. Another recurring tactic (not just on Glassdoor, but across various review platforms) is their insistence that they are a "growing company." This claim often serves as a deflection when they have no valid response to the serious accusations made against them. HyperionDev was founded over a decade ago, yet much of its course material remains unchanged—many sections have never been updated since they were originally plagiarized from books published as early as 2005. Given all this, one might expect that the individual running the company would have gone out of business long ago. However, I must admit he is a resourceful operator. To all potential employees and students: steer clear of this toxic company and let it fade into obscurity. Far too many people have suffered due to the actions of a single individual, and this should not be allowed to continue. If you have the means, take action—file a complaint with the CCMA, pursue legal avenues to recover your money, or seek assistance from the labor court. The more time he spends dealing with litigation, the less time he has to deceive others. Stay strong, and keep up the resistance!

Despicable company. Terrible culture and unethical work practices. I've never worked for a company that is so driven by profit at the expense of quality and value. It has 0 regard for its student's outcomes and this is very obvious from the constant pressure to deliver against out-of-touch targets! They also have minimal regard for their staff. Concerns and feedback are quelled! And anybody who dares challenge their practices or behaviours is quickly discarded and eventually let go! If you think all of their behaviour is driven by lower or mid-level management you're wrong, the worst culprits are senior management and in particular the CEO. I've never met such an immoral and narcissistic CEO in my whole life! He genuinely should not be in the position he is in and find it astounding that he has no self-awareness to recall some of the behaviour he exhibits. Shocking! He is revered as this inspirational leader by the people who worship him and it is genuinely worrying the control he has over people. I would liken it to a cultish leader- very dangerous! The management genuinely has 0 appreciation for ambitious individuals and those who care to give constructive feedback. I've always felt very reluctant and discouraged to do so! I would love to say I've enjoyed my time here but that would be disingenuous so all I can say is that I hope they do better in the future.
