Great Company IF YOU'RE A ELDERLY WHITE Guy! Otherwise, forget moving up.

Pros

HNTB is fairly close to my home. Parking is pretty good for a company located near downtown KC. Oh and the receptionist is very nice.

Cons

HNTB is the least diverse employer I have ever had the honor of working for. From Harvey to three levels below him... all employees are elderly white guys. This is not an exaggeration, this is not hyperbole... There is a cast iron ceiling at this company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Established brand within engineering industry Nice offices Acceptable benefits Diverse hiring Corporate legal, insurance and contracting support Nice region-specif annual party

Cons

Segregation between engineers and admins (finance/marketing/etc.) profound. Team? Yeah--right. Proprietary financial software (Data Query, Budget Manager) is ancient, cumbersome to use. Information systems (financial, AP, HR, project) are disparate and, therefore, useful reporting requires significant manual processes prone to human error.
