Hayden Homes

This is a fantastic group of smart, creative driven individuals and I enjoy working with them. We tend to hire carefully for culture-fit and it pays off. There’s practically nobody in the entire company that I struggle to work with and the vast majority are a joy. The company culture is very driven for growth and goal achievement, sometimes failing to provide adequate resources in terms of time and people to meet those goals in a way that feels good. There can be a perpetual sense of emergency and it’s critical to hold your boundaries in terms of how much you work and how much stress you take on. If you can manage that you’ll do well. If you are productive, you won’t be micro-managed and are given quite a bit of trust and autonomy. Pay is not amazing, that could be better. There’s quite a bit of willingness and even encouragement for people to move around to different roles/departments within the company which helps keep things interesting and provides routes to career growth. That said, I’ve had the rug pulled out from under me a few times in my attempts to move into different roles. Overall it’s a good company and I enjoy working here.

You always here that the company you work for cares about their employees and then it's not really shown. 

That IS NOT the case here at Hayden Homes. They DO care about their employees. The upper management team makes sure to have 1 on 1s with the project managers once a week. They ask about how things are going professionally and personally. They want to make sure you have the support you need for both work and home life.

Recently, Hayden Homes hosted a Fill Up and Fun event for all the employees. Before you went to a happy hour get together, the executive team came in from Oregon and filled up your gas tank. The Chief of Board and President of the company were fighting over who got to fill up my tank.

I had met the President once before this event, and as soon as I got out of my truck he came over to shake my hand and ask how I had been, remembering my name as well. 

I was fired during a pandemic for taking time off for sick children. The culture is toxic and the expectation is you must put work above your family even for entry level roles. You are expected to spend time with co-workers outside of work. Your quarterly work review will ask you very personal things to be reviewed by your manager.
There is no transparency about salaries, raises or bonuses.
Your work quality won't matter so much as how you fit in.
They are adamant about working in the office.
There is hardly a drop of diversity in the entire support center. The bathroom isn't actually ADA.

I've been with the company for about a year and I am impressed everyday by the people and the strong culture.  Everyone has a strong work ethic but we also spend quality time getting to know each other outside of work.  The company does a great job organizing fun social events.  I'm excited to be a part of the leadership team and such an amazing company that is committed to giving back and building strong communities. 

I feel energized and love coming to work! The people and the giving culture makes Hayden Homes one of the best places to work in Oregon. The company encourages personal/professional growth and provides outlets in order to achieve goals. On top of it all, we have a lot of fun! The company provides many activities and opportunities to connect outside of work with healthy lifestyle challenges, happy hours and team building events. 

Management doesn't really work with you once they decide you aren't the right fit anymore. As an example, you ask a question on a meeting that challenges the ideas of your predecessors, asking questions seems to go against the company culture. They claim to have this "Give as you Go" mantra? It only applies to people that don't work there....my advice? If you want to work here, tread lightly. 

It's true, we work hard at Hayden Homes. But we are so fulfilled by the work that we do it makes it all worth it. I wake up every day excited to do my job, to work with my team, to help deserving families on the path to home ownership, to embrace our community and make it stronger through our giving efforts and to share the story of Hayden Homes. Working here is a gift. 

This company is great! In the time I have been here I have been able to hone skills that pertain directly to the degree I earned in college, as well as gain valuable insights that helped advance my understanding of home building. While it is true Hayden Homes requires a certain amount of buy in to the culture, you are rewarded with a close knit community of achievers, and a like minded goal of being the best home builders on Earth.    

Hayden Homes is probably the most generous company I'm aware of. From our employee home discount program, to paid volunteer time off, snacks provided at work, to a great profit-share bonus program, Hayden Homes walks the walk. Everyone is kind and friendly to work with, and driven to succeed and improve. I  couldn't ask for anything more from a company and a company culture. Definitely blessed to work here!

Nothing is as it seems, executive team already has a plan of who will be advancing and taking over. They don’t ask the people doing the work for their input on how to make things better within the departments. It’s unorganized and chaotic and feels like a start up, not a 30 year old company.
