Pros

Several very talented, dedicated people work here and those relationships are the biggest value. There is some creative freedom but that is mostly because of lack of direction from internal stakeholders. Good snacks, free drinks and all the other usual comforts but that is pretty standard these days.

Cons

Totally chaotic with very little synergy between departments. Any ideas are the bare minimum of creative with a "throw it over the fence" mentality and ambition is heavily discouraged. It's been described as a "start-up environment" but that is just a way to dress up lack of strategy and low standards. Any attempt at departmental leadership comes off as clearly feigned and people are set up to fail constantly. Tonally it feels like you're working in finance and any perks of the office being pretty is clearly for clients, not employees. HHC tries in New York to be culturally relevant but often fails because there is very little creativity in its DNA. Across their other national locations (Dallas, Hawaii, Summerlin) HHC doesn't try to be something they're not and they do much better.

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.
