Disclaimer if you're applying for IT - Anonymous employee HDR Employee Review

If you are in IT, there is a salary increase cap of 9%. HDR does like to promote internally but if you're looking to get paid for your increased contributions to the company, look elsewhere. The salary increase cap is at a firm 9% even if you're underpaid by double digit percentages. They won't tell you this when you apply for an internal promotion but the cap applies to everyone in IT. If you're promoted internally, you'll be working harder for thousands below market rate and there will be external hires who are hired on at or above market.
