Avantages
Experience- Highwire is a great stepping stone for gaining experience, but get out quickly.
Inconvénients
Management- The senior management team at Highwire is dishonest and passive aggressive. Most of management doesn’t have enough years of experience under their belts needed for the titles they hold. One on one conversations with managers are completely different than how you are actually positioned in performance reviews. Promotions are promised to occur, but then take extended amounts of time to happen because one manager (usually one you rarely work with) claims you’re not ready. Morale- It’s extremely hard to see peers and junior staff crying and upset in the workplace on a regular basis due to nasty comments from managers (+principals) and working late on ridiculous projects. Highwire is filled with rumors and a common topic of conversation is “who’s leaving next.” The focus on people’s attitudes is unreal and you can’t simply have a bad day without it spinning off into something larger. This review will lead to fingers being pointed and I’m sure whoever seems the unhappiest at the moment will get a check-in scheduled with HR.
