Pros
People are generally friendly and nice to work with. Some new members of the HR team look promising.
Cons
VERY profit driven and most parts of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence operate and make decisions based on quarterly P&L. As a result, there has been a tradition of underinvestment in critical areas of infrastructure and process. Finance team have way too much control of the running of the business which results in poor decisions and too much short term focus. Dysfunction exists everywhere and the level of competence for such a big organisation is surprising. Not sure how shareholders put up with it, but squeezing out profit on a quarterly basis probably helps. Lacks an authentic approach to employees and running an engagement survey every 3 years, internal mentoring programs and general approach to talent development feels like a check box exercise rather than driven by a desire to invest in people.
