Procedural Harassment, Withheld Accommodations, and Targeted Employee - Anonymous employee HDR Employee Review

If you are a person with a disability, or if you value basic dignity in the workplace, stay far away from this company. My experience here showed me how little leadership understands about legal and ethical obligations toward employees who require accommodations. Rather than engage in the required interactive process, they delayed, deflected, and outright denied the support I was entitled to. Instead of receiving meaningful accommodations, I was subjected to constant procedural harassment: endless documentation demands, shifting expectations, and a punitive performance plan built on factual inaccuracies. The scrutiny was relentless — managers tracked my time down to 15-minute intervals, withheld paychecks over manufactured “timecard issues,” and used my disability as leverage to justify harsher treatment. The culture is deeply toxic. Engineers who struggle to communicate effectively are promoted into management roles where they weaponize procedures against employees rather than supporting them. Yelling, obscenities, and targeted hostility are normalized. Leadership’s focus is on protecting themselves and looking productive, not actually producing results. What’s worse is HR’s role. They were fully aware of the harassment and did nothing. They ignored emails, failed to intervene, and consistently sided with management. Their silence condoned the abuse and created an environment where discrimination is allowed to thrive unchecked. For people with disabilities, this workplace is not only unsupportive — it is actively harmful. The constant stress, retaliation, and gaslighting take a psychological toll. Requests for flexibility or fairness are met with hostility and punishment. This is not a safe environment for anyone, but it is especially dangerous for those of us who rely on accommodations to succeed. In short: avoid this company at all costs. If you value your health, your livelihood, or your legal rights, do not put yourself through what I endured.
