Terrible Morale

Pros

The pay and benefits including vacation at HNTB are top notch. I loved the company for the first 3-4 years I was employed there because I was made to feel like I was making a difference and was valued by the company.

Cons

In a misguided attempt to make the Chairman of the Board richer before he retires (he needs to GO), HNTB has been chasing pipe dreams. Morale is down and people no longer feel like valuable contributers. There is no long-term or big picture thinking going on currently. It is all how can we make today the most profitable regardless if it hurts the company in the long run.

Focus on stability, not career advancement

Pros

Great co-workers - I'm still friends with many of the people I worked with at HNTB. Focus on involvement with professional organizations was excellent and the company was supportive of employees in being involved in the engineering community. Opportunities to work on interesting projects and many of the largest infrastructure projects in the area.

Cons

Not much in terms of upward mobility or flexibility to move around the company. It would be a good fit for someone looking for a stable and predictable job but not looking for upward mobility, or someone who is more concerned with the content of the projects they're working on and not so much with career advancement. I felt that I reached a level where I was capable of doing more than I was being given, and there weren't many options for moving to a role with more responsibility.

Pros

Chases big projects, good work sharing in some locations. Can get opportunity to lay hands on landmark projects.

Cons

Employees are treated as thanksgiving deals in terms of compensation and benefits. Bad retention policies. No good internal transfer opportunities.
