Our Story

The Hatch story started when good friends Adam Jacobs (Ex THE ICONIC Founder) and Chaz Heitner (Ex Zip Co-founder) came together to build something they were deeply passionate about.

Both founders believe that traditional hiring processes are broken and limit people from finding work that’s a good fit for them. Since founding the company, Adam and Chaz have built a team that shares their mission and are both confident they will continue to build an impactful global company for many years to come.

4.3

Pros
  • Absolutely cracking bank to work. Very friendly bank with good location. Judo is growing very fast and culture at Judo is outstanding. Welcoming people and coherent teams.
  • The only company I've ever worked at that actually seems to live the values it professes. Smart people passionate about a shared vision/purpose for the company.
  • Good support for employees (esp. during covid) and perks they give, lots of events and good education opportunities and training, nice food and office.
Cons
  • Some employees feel that the management style can be challenging, with instances of micromanagement and leadership approaches that may not be conducive to learning or understanding, particularly within certain teams such as Finance operations.
  • There is a sentiment among some staff that the company culture is in a state of flux, potentially leading to a work environment that feels reactive and fast-paced, which can be difficult to navigate, and where recognition may seem skewed towards revenue-generating roles.
  • Concerns have been expressed about compensation and workload, with some employees feeling that the pay may not fully reflect their skillset and that the balance between work and personal life can be compromised due to long hours or intense periods of work.
