Pros

Too notch staff and resources are available at HDR but you have to have the drive to access them. If you wait around for someone to do it for you, you’re not going to be a good fit. Take the wheel and you will go far. Employee ownership is an excellent model.

Cons

Lots of office politics at HDR that you’d best stay out of if you are smart. It’s easy to get sucked in, especially if leadership is buddy-buddy with staff, which does seem to happen more than it really should. The other con is that HDR is often late to the table with new markets and technology. Then they pull resources to catch up, fail within a year or so, and move onto the next thing before traction can be made. This means that staff gets pulled around a lot, and you can have a new manager every 12 months as everyone is shuffled around. Sometimes they shuffle you around and you’re the last to know!
