Colleagues describe her as "In a short period of time, Hadar has proven to be one of the most talented engineering managers that I have had the pleasure of working with. Hadar balances strong leadership skills, deep engineering knowledge, and a great rapport with her team all with a customer-backward approach to tackling tough problems. I have been thoroughly impressed seeing Hadar’s methods of working with the engineering team. Not only do all of the engineers look up to her, but she also commands the respect of all the Marketing Center product managers as well as all of the partner teams that have worked with her. Hadar is viewed as someone with deep knowledge of Compass and a strong understanding of how to best tackle problems to create the best experiences for our customers. Hadar has also taken a significant effort to drive strong relationships with her team, especially given the remote environment. I have seen her set up coffee chats with the engineers so that they can take a break and socialize. Given the extended remote work environment due to COVID-19, little things like this help the team to bond and work better as a unit. She also has been great at bringing folks together during standups and planning meetings to help everyone feel excited about the opportunity. Hadar’s experience at Compass across multiple teams has also given her a strong insight into how our customers get work done. Hadar is able to work with the team to plan solutions that not only address immediate customer needs but are forward-thinking to scale to our customers’ future problems and workflows. Moreover, when I was assessing whether I switched to the Marketing Center team, I chatted with folks to understand their perspective on who I would potentially be working with across the Marketing Center team. A selling point to making the switch to this new team was that every person I spoke with thinks so highly of Hadar as an engineering manager and as a person. Hadar embodies the ideal characteristics of a strong engineering manager: bright, personable, communicative, hard-working, and a natural leader.", "I’ve worked with Hadar for over 18 months and was her manager, it’s been a pleasure. She is an amazing engineer, and has accomplished a tremendous amount - the project she worked on, Marketing Center, was one of the best new product launches I’ve ever been a part of, owing much to her. She was the first engineer on the team, starting out with initial prototyping and user validation. After that she designed the technical architecture, and evolved the product through several major iterations while adding a lot of new capabilities and functionality. She was a key member of a very experienced and high-performing team. Hadar gets things done. She is a rare combination of motivation, reliability, and skill. When we had a critical project with a very tight deadline, she was one of the first people I called on, and she delivered, while working on the most complex part of the project. I was thrilled when Hadar expressed interest in moving towards technical management; she’s got all the key ingredients. She is business driven, and a great collaborator, and has a great eye for design and usability. Hadar makes the teams and people around her better. She is laser-focused on the most important tasks, and makes sure the team gets focused. In addition to her main project work, I’ve seen her expand her impact by giving talks and starting organization-wide initiatives. Hadar is still in the middle of her transition to engineering management. She was put into a challenging situation, but quickly rallied her team around her and started delivering results. I have no doubt Hadar will become a great leader and look forward to hearing about her achievements. Strongly recommend Hadar if you want a business-focused technical leader that can be counted on to deliver.", and "I worked directly with Hadar at ADP's Innovation lab for just over two years. During that time I was consistently impressed by her ability to develop visually stunning and functionally rich websites. A first impression of Hadar's work suggests that she is an excellent designer. This is very much true, as evidenced by her choices of ascetically pleasing color palettes, tasteful CSS transitions, and attention to UX/UI detail. A further look into her portfolio reveals a the work of a full stack engineer with a strong understanding of OO JavaScript design patterns, JS frameworks (Backbone/Marionette, Angular, Meteor), and databases. Hadar possess a rare combination of design and programming skills that I am invariably envious of."
