Formerly Great Company that Has Lost It's Way

Pros

Many employees are highly motivated and skilled in their areas of expertise. Large national presence allows for many projects of large scale and complexity.

Cons

Other than for cutting staff, the Architecture management team has not one whit as to how deal with market conditions. The HDR of old is gone and senior management is dominated by political animals and bean counters in Omaha. Most of the people who built HDR up from the 1990's buyout are retired or soon will be shortly.

Pros

Benefits are great and you will work on interesting projects.

Cons

Work environment is horrible all you will hear is the HVAC system. Upper management is inexperienced and HR at local offices is not helpful at all. It's a good old boys environment too. Additionally, previous people in this position were short lived. Former person lasted a week and another coordinator from a different VA office lasted a month after the new Marketing Manager came on board. I became aware of this from colleagues of mine shortly after starting and wish I had known sooner. Please only work here if work is your life and nothing beyond that. Otherwise enjoy being harassed late at night.
