What's the Company Culture Like at The HEICO Companies, LLC?

What stuck out to you the most about The HEICO Companies’ culture during the hiring process, and what was it specifically that convinced you to join?

I completed two internships at Heico during college before coming on full-time after graduating, so I was able to get a lot of exposure to the company culture before joining. One thing that didn’t take long to notice was how welcoming and friendly everyone was. I was a little intimidated going into my first internship, as it was my first experience in a professional setting, but that quickly went away, and I felt very comfortable and knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. This held true during my second internship as well and ultimately led to my interest in pursuing a full-time position after college. Everyone I’ve worked with up to this point has been extremely helpful and has played a big part in the development of my professional career.

How does The HEICO Companies encourage peers to connect with each other either virtually, in person or both?

I would say the biggest way the company culture encourages people to connect with each other is through holding different events in the office. For example, we recently had our holiday lunch, and as a part of the celebration, there were Christmas sweater and door decorating competitions. This was a good way to get people to connect because everyone would walk around the office to look at the doors the different departments decorated, and most people would stop and chat with each other for a couple minutes. I talked to people that day that I had never talked to before, and I think it’s a really good thing when your company can find unique ways to encourage that.

What opportunities are available for employees to level up their careers?

HEICO has an abundance of opportunities for employees to level up their careers. Primarily, I would say the opportunity lies within HEICO’s expansive network of businesses. I have heard many stories of people coming and going from our business units to HEICO or from HEICO to our business units to take the next step in their careers. It’s super cool how interconnected HEICO is with its business units, and I think that creates a lot of opportunity for everyone that works within the company, whether it’s at the corporate level or at an operating company. 

Other than that, I have always felt supported to take steps toward leveling up my career. For example, my team supported me in obtaining an internal audit practitioner certification from the Institute of Internal Auditors. It has been evident that everyone wants to see each other succeed, and HEICO makes an effort to provide the resources to make that happen.
