Pros

The company has plenty of work. The people is nice and very experienced. Excellent benefits and opportunities to be part owner.

Cons

Management is not that great and is mainly lead by men. Most of the office principles across the offices are from Omaha (where the company's headquarter's is located). Career advancement is not an easy task; it is extremely political.

Pros

Employee ownership really means something at HDR. The company seems to be well managed. HDR trains employees well, has good resources, and communicates well.

Cons

My only significant challenges have been those that go with any consulting job: the need to generate work and stay billable. The employee experience will vary significantly depending on your home office. As you would expect, the larger offices generally are more formal and packed more densely. The many small offices can be less formal and you might even get an office with a door.

Pros

Variety, robust GIS infrastructure, advanced server capabilities. Great place to excessive your GIS muscles

Cons

It's consulting so... You know... Consulting. HDR is consistently profitable partially by keeping tight control on costs. Be prepared for lots of unpaid lunch meetings.
