Hatch

I've learned a new financial program which is always a plus point.  Miss the culture of the previous firm where we were more of a family and could interact with other branches almost yearly at staff conferences.  

The hardest part of the job is staying positive as co workers are leaving more and more due to poor salary and salary increases and job uncertainty.  

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to keep myself busy and working in a peaceful environment and nice offices with lovely views, free coffee/tea facilities and close to home.  Made good friends in other offices.  When speaking to ex colleages, they all miss the good interaction we had with each other, whether on work or social grounds.  I also have good client relationships as I've worked I the engineering industry for almost 30 years.

Working for Hatch Goba makes you grounded and although at times it feels like just work and no play, one gets to learn a lot from Engineers and the work environment. I look forward to coming to work everyday but at the same time I cannot wait for the weekend to come. It is a 50/50 type of situation and if no one will make your work fun for you then you have to do it yourself, to make sure you get through the day. Everyone minds their own business and I guess it is because of all the work they have to do, but me I love what I do. Engineering companies are all about technicalities and measurements.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with professional and conscientious engineers. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Extreme deadlines on fast track projects. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent working environment, the company culture is one of extreme honesty at all times. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start and end times are flexible. I loved being busy all day. Sometimes it's a lot of fun and sometimes it head down and get the work out.

If you’re looking for a place that values hierarchy over excellence look no further than hatch. A place that thrives off of malpractice and favoritism. A place where mediocrity abounds and abusive work culture is the order of the day. 

I had a great experience, made good friends. Opportunity to work for international projects, engaging with different cultures within the company. I would recommend.
