Pros

The people I worked with made coming to work every day enjoyable and the work we did was rewarding. HDR takes an approach toward projects that aims to satisfy clients without compromising design and make it a great place to work as an architect. I am only leaving because I am moving to another city for other reasons.

Cons

It is a large corporation and does at times lack that "personal" feeling that you get from a small office. My time at HDR was also during a somewhat low point in terms of project volume, which made it difficult to complete some of my IDP hours, I really had to stay on the ball with asking for certain assignments when there was an opportunity to earn the hours I needed.
