Pros

The only benefit to working here is the good name, which conceals how unprofessional this company is. But quickly, the industry is picking up on how bad Howard Hughes is in NYC, and it's getting a bad reputation.

Cons

The executives at this company are running it into the ground. They are extremely young kids, with zero communication skills, zero knowledge, zero expertise, and zero teamwork skills. They just order all the lower people around, spinning them in circles with contradictory or not enough information. Then, when everything goes wrong (which it always does) they just blame the lower people. They have no clue how to run a company. The New York office is NOT profitable. The company just doesn't go under because OTHER cities make a profit and generate revenue. My boss is the worst person I've ever worked for in life.

Pros

Working at Howard Hughes is rewarding because the company is deeply committed to making a positive impact in the communities it develops. There’s a strong emphasis on thoughtful, sustainable growth and giving back through philanthropic efforts, which makes the work feel purposeful. It’s inspiring to be part of projects that don’t just build properties but create lasting value for residents and businesses. The company takes stewardship seriously, investing in green space, cultural initiatives, and community programs. If you want to be part of a team that prioritizes impact over just development, this is a great place to be.

Cons

While the work itself is meaningful, there’s room for improvement when it comes to leadership and internal communication. At times, the company’s specific business objectives can feel unclear, and more transparency from leadership would help employees feel more aligned with long-term goals. Strengthening internal communications could also help reinforce the company culture, ensuring that employees across all teams feel connected and engaged in the bigger picture.
