      Pros

      They have an excellent 401K; you'll work with some well educated folks; the projects are diversified which keeps the work interesting; and they're generous with their employee training.

      Cons

      You have to market yourself to other employees nationwide to contribute to their projects to stay billable. Tough to work with a manager that works in a different state.

      Pros

      HDR is a top 10 engineering company. It is well run, profitable corporation, with excellent compensation and benefits packages. Core values of the leadership are ethical and professional. The company is employee-owned resulting in a strong work ethic and shared rewards.

      Cons

      The company weathered the recession, managing to the bottom-line by eliminating approximately ten-percent of its work-force. This wass done in multiple lay-offs and position eliminations, particularly for older, senior employees that were not fully billable, in areas where the recession hit the hardest . The positive spin put on this was that it created opportunities for younger, middle managers to move up and help with succession plan implementation.

      Pros

      The entire organization are all pulling towards making the company better. There is a lot of opportunity as the company is global. Compensation is excellent and there are lots of opportunity for training across multiple disciplines

      Cons

      The hybrid information technology model can leave local IT managers struggling to further their skills. There will be tasks you are qualified to do but it is controlled out of head office.
