Pros: A very transparent and collaborative environment. Partners are coders who work alongside you. Everyone is extremely smart and willing to help and work with you. Every employee has a lot of ownership over their work and can choose to work on what they are interested in. Very good compensation and perks.

Cons: Can have some imposter syndrome. Currently growing a decent amount, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for.

Pros: - Good pay. - Great food. - Full access to the codebase. - I met some really great people that I'll remember forever. - Some C++ in the codebase is pretty cool. - Non-compete pay. - Some extremely talented individuals. - Great place for some people.

Cons: I decided to leave HRT when they let someone I knew who is neuro-divergent go without warning. They never spoke to them about the situation, so they never had the opportunity to share their disability. This was due to conflict avoidance on their lead's part. Your experience depends heavily on which team you join: * Echo-chamber culture lacking ideological diversity. * Code reviews could feel more about demonstrating dominance instead of discussing tradeoffs. * Some smart people have trouble working with those who think and process differently. * Algo-devs > algo-engi, even over engi code. * Some parts of the code are terrible. * Smart people, some of whom are too sure of their knowledge and have to be right. * Someone said, "It feels like I'm getting hazed by the code." The reply was, "Welcome to HRT." * Leads seem inexperienced at getting the most out of people and tapping into their strengths. * Leads admitted there was a problem on a team but did not step in, deeming it most profitable to let the golden goose run amok. * I regretted joining, and unfortunately, the pay and smiles made me feel I should like it and be appreciative. Think of a rich, psychologically domineering, and abusive husband. After leaving, my headspace improved greatly. They have so much potential. Unfortunately, some toxic personas run amok. It depends heavily on what team you get put on.

Pros: Great culture, great people, and work.

Cons: No cons at all, to be honest.
