What is the best part of working at the company?
Insurance package coverage is at least good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
People are hired for projects, then get laid off because of lack of work. Required billable hours have to be fulfilled regardless what you are working on or how much the workload you are given. Forced to work on other fields and take trainings which are obviously unbillable, which brings trouble to you when your utilization rate gets low. Your performance will be merely judged by presence in the office and utilization rate, nothing else matters. Mid-management level is deaf, dumb, and selfish. Upper-management level doesn't care about you at all. Manifesto is forced on everybody but nobody is carrying out the spirit. No hybrid is allowed no matter how far you live from the office. No work and family balance. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It depends on the size of the offices. Smaller ones are more coherent. Larger ones can get intense where there are too many people. Culture is toxic and less people are willing to help you out because the work time is not billable.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring. Some days are busy and some days are slow. With how the cubicles are set, I couldn't concentrate while people are talking loud in front of my face.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They make everything sound like a perfect world. They have several inexperienced managers who don’t know their jobs. How to deal with. High profile customers, and when they lose a contract and you happen to be on it , they hire head hunters to find ways to get you fired and if that doesn’t work, they will make up a story to let you go!
They remind you that you are an At will employee, and they lean on that like a crutch to get rid of you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You never know who is in charge, they have project managers who don’t know what they are doing, and they have poor relationships with high level clients.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like walking on eggshells.
If you don’t play the political game they will find a reason with no merit to get rid of you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long, unappreciated. No bearing on your family life, will send you anywhere they want, they make you work extensive hours to get reports completed, and only pay straight time. But will complain if you work too many hours even though you are forced to because they have no managers that know how to manage people’s needs or the correct amount of employees for any project.

Starts off as a good place to work to begin an engineering career, consulting business model allows for a variety of projects / experience. 
However, there is a lot of mismanagement and disorganization internally. Their manifesto culture is excessively pushed on to employees and yet most people there do not practice what they preach. No feedback is given even when requested. Some leads on projects can be extreme micromanagers and conventional. I found that abiding by what is expected from you , for example being in the office 5 days a week, is more important to them than the actual quality of the work you produce... Working overtime is expected but not valued nor rewarded. I found that the career development infrastructure is not strong enough, it is hard to actually have a mentor.
Pay does not increase proportionally to responsabilities. 

Full time in office. Shabby office. You’ll be working, snack free, in some downtown location you couldn’t possibly afford to live near. Hatch’s corporate truth is that Hatch employees cannot manage themselves or their quality of work while working from home, even if they only work in international teams with remotely. Of course, if you’re veteran and stubborn, you may work remote, no questions asked. To stand out, prepare to sacrifice work life balance heavily toward work. 

Absolute leader in the rail vehicle procurement space, inheriting the legacy of LTK Engineering Services. Very exciting projects, supporting transit vehicle procurements across the continent. However, the Hatch merger has been very rough, and what was an excellent, stable, and highly respected company in the industry has since turned into severe retention issues, particularly in the Boston office. There is still exciting work, but the future feels a bit more fraught for the company.

Small, employee-owned firm; comes with all the pros and cons.

Consulting work is mainly technical due diligences and the client relationships are primarily owned by engineers.

Workplace culture is great if you are part of the "in" crowd.  You are targeted if not.  The place thrives on gossip and false accusations; if you become targeted, know it is time to leave.  People are smart but lack EQ.  Some changes in leadership look promising.

Interning at Hatch was an absolute blast! From day one, I was welcomed into a vibrant and dynamic environment where learning and fun went hand in hand. One of the things that made this internship experience so enjoyable was the incredible team I had the privilege to work with. Everyone was not only highly skilled and passionate about their work but also incredibly supportive and eager to help me learn and grow.

Five years of hard work to go unnoticed and unappreciated. Very well coursed in product and customer care means absolutely nothing. You mustn’t talk back or speak up on behalf of your coworkers to hold hire ups accordingly and they do not.

Pros 
-variety of projects 
-new challenges 

Cons 
-hard to move up in the company ranks, can get pigeon holed to certain tasks and skill sets 
-they had a hybrid plan for less than a year and then took it away for no reason 

It was a great place to start working, with an excellent graduate programme. Good middle management that care about you, however, senior leadership is detached and very reluctant to review salaries. Only option was to move.
