Genuinely impactful technology: Hexagon’s portfolio spans digital reality, AI, and advanced manufacturing software, working with some of the world’s most recognisable brands. The solutions are not just incremental improvements — they are changing industries and helping solve real-world challenges at global scale. Exceptional customer base: Working with clients across aerospace, automotive, energy, and public sector means exposure to cutting-edge projects and the opportunity to see technology in action across critical sectors. Collaborative people and culture: Teams are diverse, highly skilled, and truly supportive. There is a strong culture of cross-functional collaboration, with colleagues across design, engineering, marketing, and operations working together to deliver. Innovation-driven environment: The company constantly invests in new platforms (e.g., cloud, AI, digital experience) and modernises its digital infrastructure. There’s a clear drive to remain at the forefront of technology, not to follow. Career development: Opportunities to stretch beyond your job description are frequent. If you’re ambitious and proactive, you can take on high-impact projects and build an impressive track record quickly.
Cons
Fast-paced and demanding: The workload can be intense, particularly around global launches or transformation programmes. Expect to juggle multiple high-profile priorities at once. Constant change: With divestments, acquisitions, and transformation initiatives, the organisation is always evolving. This creates exciting opportunities but also requires adaptability and resilience. Complex structure: Being a global matrix organisation, decision-making can sometimes be slow, with many stakeholders to align before execution. Resource constraints: In some areas, particularly during transition phases, resources can feel stretched — requiring teams to “do more with less”.
