Pros

It was a nice sized office with about 30 people. Highly collaborative projects, nice to work together with people of different backgrounds and expertise. Nice opportunity to work with a few people with 40 years of experience, experts (healthcare architecture) By being a hard worker and showing initiative, my responsibility level gradually increased.

Cons

Sometimes I wished I could have more involvement in the earlier stages of projects, which were usually done by the senior guys with little outside input.

A Good Company Vision for Architecture with Some Challenges

Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative thinking occurs and happens with seasoned, experienced leadership in design. In conjunction with young designers some good projects are implemented.

Cons

Some Project Managers are narrow in their vision of what can be successful design options to test with a client. The opportunities are shut down internally before the ideas reach the client.

Business Outlook

Pros

They have great resources, many knowledgeable people. They are number 1 in health care design, they push the envelope of what could be done. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will be amazing when completed. Their motto "Together we are better" is a great work ethic and can been seen through work share projects where teams of experts from different offices within the company converge and create great projects. Through work share a person can make many connections within the company.

Cons

Long hours are to be expected but that differs by office where 60+ hour work weeks are the norm for one and others have a normal work week and will change with deadlines. Getting pigeon holed is very common, not a place to advance in one's career unless they move away from HDR or a certain office and return. HDR is a newcomer in terms of producing the newest and greatest, there so much bureaucracy that it slows the reaction to any type of change. If one has good ideas or methods to improve workflow, it won't be done in any timely fashion.
