      Pros

      Lots of opportunities to learn and management seems to take an interest in growth. Post-pandemic, HDR has focused and doubled down on employee development. There are a diverse range of projects to get involved with. Great culture and 100% employee owned which is a wonderful thing. Retirement plan is good with reasonably low fees. The company stock has historically performed very well and has made many long-timers quite wealthy.

      Cons

      Lots of cool-aid drinking with the company stock... Don't get caught up and invest too much. Remember the S&P averages 12% or so as well. Diversify! A good chunk of the 401k match is in company stock.

      Pros

      The 401k is good, that's it..

      Cons

      The main complaint is having to beg for work within the company. They don't have enough work to give you and then complain that your overhead is too high. Communication and training is terrible. I've sent numerous emails to coworkers only to be ignored. You have to keep reaching out for someone to respond to you. The project managers also don't budget the labor for their projects well. They're very tight about how many hours you should spend on an assignment and it's often unreasonable, like read and compare a 600+ page document to a 300+ page technical document in 2 work days. The health insurance sucks too. Things that used to be covered are no longer covered such as basic labs. The insurance carrier is always denying services such as an MRI.
