      Pros

      HDR offers a collaborative and creative work environment with opportunities to work on high-profile and meaningful projects. The company values design quality, innovation, and sustainability, which makes the work engaging and purpose-driven. Colleagues are generally supportive, and there is strong exposure to international projects and clients. Learning opportunities are solid, especially for those early or mid-career.

      Cons

      As a large organization, processes can sometimes feel structured and move more slowly than in smaller firms. Priorities may shift depending on project demands, which can require flexibility.

      Disappointing

      Pros

      Hybrid working is flexible and works quite well. There are some very good engineers and technicians working here.

      Cons

      Senior design leads are entirley absent during project lifespan, Will step in at the eleventh hour to assess damage. Workload is spotty at best and management will bizarrley rebuke the lowest level employees for this. Senior 'management' spend more time reconfiguring team organisation charts and creating new job titles than actually guiding staff or managing projects. Making staff redundant with zero prior indication of performance issues or any feedback whatsoever, An HR department who appear to revel in this process. Cliquey work atmosphere. If you don't fit in then you're going to have a difficult time of it imo.
