Pros

Work on a variety of projects, have opportunities to carve out a niche. Very interesting work, and a strong company financially.

Cons

Very little upward mobility, and executive leadership often views marketing as administrative staff. Expertise in writing or graphic design is not given the same respect as an engineering degree.

Employee ownership a big plus

Pros

HDR is a large A&E firm with offices worldwide. One of the big positives is potential for ownership in the company via company stock. Any employee can participate in the stock purchase program.

Cons

Employees wishing to purchase stock have to grow their 401K balance in order to purchase stock. If you are rolling 401K from another plan, you are set. If you are a new employee, it will take some time to build a balance and thus, delaying your participation.
