Pros

Atlanta office- This is a relatively small office. It offers the benefits, resources and project experience of a large firm but the number of employees is small. HOK corporate is very committed to sustainable design and BIM (Revit) and access to firm wide knowlege, people and projects is rewarding. Very good benefits package for a design firm. Nice office location.

Cons

Atlanta office- The leadership of the office is relatively new as there has been a lot of turnover. Past leadership was not highly effective, and this office laid off a relatively large number of people. The size of the office and current low workload creates uncertainty and a sense of instability at times. The HOK corporate structure on an office this size may seem onerous at times. 12/2010.

Pros

I’ve had a good experience so far. People on the team are friendly and helpful. I also like that I get to work on different types of projects and learn from people in different disciplines. There are also some really interesting internal opportunities, such as competitions that bring together teams from different offices.

Cons

It is a multidisplinary firm and with different departments. For me, it is the first time joining the big company like this. There are a lot of internal systems and processes to learn, so it can feel a little overwhelming at first.

Pros

As a new employee, what has stood out to me the most about the HOK-Tampa office is that the team is culturally diverse, respectful, collaborative, mentorship oriented, and the leadership is patient and encouraging. I value that as a recent M. Arch graduate, my questions are addressed kindly and effectively. The IT is also incredibly prompt to help with any issues, and the first week has a very smooth transition into the incoming tasks.

Cons

The monthly parking through the City of Tampa at the Fort Brooke Garage has a 2-3 year waiting list.
