Life at HEI, Iowa

”What’s the company culture like?” is one of the questions we hear most from prospective employees. The problem with this question is that culture can be a very hard thing to communicate. By definition, work culture is a collection of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. In simple terms, culture at HEI means to welcome all people, treat all with respect, demonstrate a serving heart at work and in our communities, work hard, play hard, and have fun!
