What's It Like to Work at HCSS?

HCSS Employee Perspectives

In one memorable line, what does a “good week” feel like on your team?

A good week for my team is when the work flows without drama, our work compounds on each other, one finished piece of work makes the next one easier, and the team has enough breathing room to invest in tomorrow’s infrastructure instead of firefighting today’s problems.

Would you recommend working here — and what proof backs that up?

I would absolutely recommend working at HCSS, and our exceptional employee net promoter score of 56 proves our team feels the exact same way. We are officially categorized as an excellent place to work, largely driven by a supportive culture that actively invests in our continuous learning and career growth.

From my very first tour of the campus, I knew I was going to love working at HCSS! I look forward to getting together with my team each week to bounce ideas off of each other, catch up over lunch, or let our competitive spirit out in a game of Jazzminton. HCSS is a melting post of experiences and background that give you the confidence to aim high.

Sierra, Project Management Supervisor

In my first weeks I witnessed the essence of this company, its people. I learned in practice that there was no magic book to be a good leader. I had to get to know my team and work hard to be their leader. My strategy was simple: listen, identify opportunities for improvement, take actions, and repeat.
