      Horrible work environment & lack of leadership

      Sr. project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      steady paycheck, health coverage, retirement plan

      Cons

      NO leadership in San Francisco architecture office. Embarrassingly hideous physical office (this is a design firm?) horrid office manager on a power trip who actively seeks to make things difficult so you won't bother her, complete chaos in office and project organization, no team spirit - everyone is out for themselves. Nonexistent onboarding, weak IT support. Uninspiring, uninspired work. Definitely a place for the C and D students.

      working at HDR

      Sustainability analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      there are many potential paths for career growth - many supervisors are willing to listen and help if you are interested in trying new types of work within the company, i.e. moving from architecture to design, or from design to lab planning, etc.

      Cons

      As a very large company, things tend to move slowly. There are many people to collaborate with, but sometimes it feels difficult to stand out and feel like you are making significant contributions for a while
