Human Factors Reviews

The company lives in the past glory and has no vision about the future. People are highly dispensable at all levels and scum has moved to the top. Expect a lot of politics.

Cons: - HFI was once a very good organization to work with. Now, it is the best example of how a self-indulging family business can look like. The senior management makes all the decisions right down to who will work on what project and what snacks to order for the pantry. (The primary reason is that even the CEO has sometimes no work on his table!) - Your will get good projects only when you are good to the senior management. You will have to praise them at all times and keep them happy. The day you make them sad is probably your downfall in the org. - There was once some research done at HFI. Now, it only rides on the waves of the past. There has been no serious research done in HFI in the past 10 years. The whole curriculum of CUA and CXA is outdated. Look at the Mobile Design course and you will feel like someone did a Google Search on Mobile Design and copy pasted the first 10 search results. - Policies change on the whims ad fancies of the higher management. One day someone would be accused of discrimination and the other day the Founder himself would shout and scream at someone right in the middle of the office. That someone would be punished and the Founder would be praised and appreciated. - The whole India office is like a puppet in the hands of just 2 people in the higher management. India head has no say in the decision making and just runs around the 2 people agreeing to whatever they say. - Politics all around! So, be brave and fight the political wars if you happen to join them.
