As many of you know, I joined HS2 Solutions in the fall of 2008. At the time, I was very happy with my position at Fair Isaac (now FICO) and was really enjoying my work. I did, however, make the tough decision of leaving FICO and joining HS2 Solutions to open up more career opportunities and improve my quality of life. I must say this was one of the most difficult, but best decisions that I have made in my career. I have found my experience at HS2 to be extremely fulfilling by providing me with the opportunity to solve countless complex challenges facing our clients via teams of very talented professionals that I have worked with over ten years.
Well, even though economic times are tough, we are fortunate enough to be doing well as a company and are looking for some very talented individuals to join our team. Let me be clear, this is not an easy job and it is not a 9-5 “cushy” job, but this is a place where hard work is valued and rewarded. If you are interested, read on to learn more about HS2 and the positions we have available.
