Pros

Good pay. Two maybe three good architects are still there. Benifits are great. Technology is up to date.

Cons

Leadership (Office, Design, Operations) is non-existent. Long time architecture employees continue to jump ship to escape the dumpster fire inferno. It will get worse.

Pros

Great projects and clients, good pay and benefits. A company with a first-class portfolio of work in a variety of industry sectors.

Cons

This company has zero respect for support services and cannot manage what it doesn't understand. HNTB sticks it's fingers in all sorts of pies so it can provide ancillary services and maximize hours on contracts. So, you are merely overhead on work that should have been subcontracted to a company whose main business is what you do. My tenure was accented by revolving-door bosses, ever changing missions and descending the corporate ladder with every re-re-reorganization. Offices and divisions within offices are pitted against each other and paired in shotgun marriages. The worst part was the indifference, inattention, lack of interest or utter disdain shown by manager PEs to our work. I learned a lot here and I worked in some great projects, but I paid a heavy price emotionally. Having to tout a "culture of respect" means there was never much of one to begin with. If you must work here, count your blessings when you get them, get your experience, then get the hell out of Dodge.

Pros

Good pay for a civil engineering intern, flexible with intern schedules, get payed for holidays.

Cons

Can get extremely repetitive and boring at times, always have to ask for work, need to have mentors for interns to really help them learn how to design instead of just giving them all the grunt work, no benefits for interns, office is extremely outdated looking with all grey cubicles and needs to be updated to a more modern style.
