- Outdated agency style: inflexible start and end times, no laptops provided to employess, lack of devices for testing. - Below standards benefits: low pay for the digital marketplace, no health insurance provided during probation period, no sick days, no flexibility to work from home unless you are sick. - Poor client servicing: the majority of staff is junior level and won't receive the right level of training. It's common for client's projects to suffer severely, as management commits to unrealistic contracts and timelines. - No loyalty towards employees: constantly witnessing lay-offs and people quitting around you, means you feel undervalued and morale is generally low. - Lack of innovation: services provided tend to be cookie cutter and you lack ability to work on creative/cutting edge projects. - Unfair promotion structure: there's no clarity as to people's career progression plans. Promotions are achieved when people threaten to leave, rather than due to merit.

No self awareness at the executive level. Arrogance and intellectual dishonesty are rampant. There is an old boys club mentality in upper management and nepotism is systemic which leads to terrible hiring decisions and unfit employees being moved into positions that they are not qualified for. The effect trickles down to the people in lower positions and creates poor employee engagement. HEBS Digital is a revolving door with the most talented new hires quickly realizing they've been sold a bill-of-goods. The health benefits are some of the worst in the industry and if you are considering taking a position there and have a family, make sure your spouse has good benefits because you will not be able to survive on their terrible health insurance plan. Unless things have changed, it cost close to $2,000 a month to add a dependent to your insurance plan. When I asked about the reason for the high premium, I was told it was because of Obama (this is factually untrue). During my time there, I was "managed" by a direct report who had no management skills or interest in developing their management abilities. They reported to someone who had zero experience in the position and knew nothing about their department (a casual racist, one of a few at the company). I'm sure anyone who works there now or has in the past knows who I am talking about. Weekly happy hours are meant to be fun but end up creating an unsafe and unprofessional environment (especially for young female employees).
