Pros

Employee Ownership model gives for good ROI in company stock, but 401k match is only 5%. Not a good company to start a career in since there are limited opportunities for young professionals. Very good for mid-career and to retire in. Overall great company culture.

Cons

Don't give annual bonuses and salaries are not very competitive. It's also not common for them to give raises over 3%. If you are looking to join HDR make sure to negotiate high. They do not adjust salaries based on cost of living.

Pros

The 401k is good, that's it..

Cons

The main complaint is having to beg for work within the company. They don't have enough work to give you and then complain that your overhead is too high. Communication and training is terrible. I've sent numerous emails to coworkers only to be ignored. You have to keep reaching out for someone to respond to you. The project managers also don't budget the labor for their projects well. They're very tight about how many hours you should spend on an assignment and it's often unreasonable, like read and compare a 600+ page document to a 300+ page technical document in 2 work days. The health insurance sucks too. Things that used to be covered are no longer covered such as basic labs. The insurance carrier is always denying services such as an MRI.
