Pros

Among the best reasons to work HDR Architecture are the competitive salaries, very friendly and fun co-workers, opportuntities to receive training in the latest softwares and working on mega projects. The company is also employee owned giving one the option to buy stock every year.

Cons

Among the downsides are rather biased promotions and recognition, limited involvement in decision making and limitation in the project types that you could be assigned to work on. Creativity in design is also very limited with a few people exercising total control on what can or cannot be done.

Pros

Culture, schedule flexibility, depending on management, remote work, and employee owned, okay benefits

Cons

Parking sucks. The office is in downtown so you have pay just about any where you park. Work is repetitive or stagnant sometimes.

PTO and Sick Leave are tied together.
