Pros

There is opportunity in chaos. So, there is lots of opportunity if you are able to build a reliable internal network and work in an area of the company that allows for flexibility and outside the department partnerships. Lots of creative, smart people.

Cons

As an engineering firm, sometimes those placed in management roles are pretty analytical and not very visionary so time at the computer "billing" is valued more than building skills and teams for the future. Depends on which office/department you are in on how strategic and supportive senior staff are to junior/mid-level staff.

Great place to work with great people

Pros

The people I worked with made coming to work every day enjoyable and the work we did was rewarding. HDR takes an approach toward projects that aims to satisfy clients without compromising design and make it a great place to work as an architect. I am only leaving because I am moving to another city for other reasons.

Cons

It is a large corporation and does at times lack that "personal" feeling that you get from a small office. My time at HDR was also during a somewhat low point in terms of project volume, which made it difficult to complete some of my IDP hours, I really had to stay on the ball with asking for certain assignments when there was an opportunity to earn the hours I needed.

Pros

Well Managed, great people, opportunity for those who are willing to put in the effort. Great place for a motivated individual looking to develop into a young professional.

Cons

I really do not have anything negative to say about the company. There is a lot of opportunity and great people to mentor young professionals as well as those who are looking to further their career.
