Hatch reviews

Shares are a myth, like the lost city of Atlantis, we've all heard the stories, but nobody knows for sure if it ever existed. Hatch brags about how much cash they have with no debt. No free coffee. Hatch's rates are too high to win projects, yet wages are below market rates. Layoffs everywhere - it's so bad that we wrote an app that scanned the system database for Infratickets filed by HR to revoke user access (for a pending layoff). It gave us a heads-up so we could move our project files off-site if/when our time came. This year's raises came in a big box. When you opened it, a red boxing glove on a spring would leap out and punch you in the face. A global director then urinates on your shoes. There's nobody left in the software development team, it cannibalized itself when somebody was appointed by a genius to lead the team from marketing and everybody left. HR spies on you online. Once you beef up your online resume presence, expect to be pulled into a board room grilling you. Working here is like playing for the Maple Leafs. Sure they make a profit, but it's not because they're any good. Nipigon River Bridge failure 6 weeks after commissioning. Career Management Discussions - Each year I was told to go work somewhere else. There were no opportunities to grow a software development career in the Software Development group. Unknowingly worked with a sexual predator, but didn't know until his picture showed up in the newspaper as a follow up to a story a few years ago as the case was about to be in court the following day. The company is descending into chaos and darkness.

Raises do not meet inflation. You can only choose 3 days of vacation. The rest are "suggested" to be taken off, because it's illegal for them to mandate that you take them off. Wage is below International/national/regional/local averages for the same profession. No wonder why we keep losing people with specialized knowledge in critical systems. Volunteering to go to site when no other team members offer doesn't mean anything and you could still find yourself unemployed soon thereafter. Issues inadequate hardware for software development when others that only run office get high performance machines. High level decisions are made by cutting the head off of a chicken and throwing the flailing carcass into a pit lined with a jump to conclusions mat. Where the body finally comes to a rest is the decision will be ultimately carried out. Donning monk robes, the associates meet biannually to dance around a figure made of sticks that is set on fire while chanting the words "glorious harvest". They then choose who they will indoctrinate to their group and offer shares in the company. A goat is slaughtered and their new members have the blood smeared on their forehead as they are no longer disposable slaves to the organization.
