      Pros

      Interesting projects, they treat their people well, and there's good support to pursue your career. I enjoyed the office culture in Denver, good work-life balance. The Denver office is stellar, with an excellent Department Manager in Brad Martin.

      Cons

      Personally, my specialty was bit spread-out, geographically, so my opportunity to develop and advance was somewhat limited. That was circumstantial, though. My sense, from talking with managerial folks, was that there were political frustrations for higher-ups. I didn't see much of that, personally. I did hear that they're cutting costs right now, so maybe changes are in the works.

      Pros

      With a fantastic workforce, good business practices, great ethical standards, and helpful benefits package, HDR has a lot of policies and work/life standards that are employee focused and that encourage a sense of community in each department. The company has successfully grown as an employee owned firm. HDR has a great marketing implementation process to win work. It is effective when put into practice. The company is growing and with a little patience, employees can grow, and move around with the company. New corporate brand rollout freshened up the HDR image. Great training to comprehensively understand marketing in the engineering industry. A fair number of networking opportunities within the company and through organizations (HDR encourages all employees to join a professional organization).

      Cons

      PTO/Vacation time is not negotiable in compensation package. Policies about work/life balance are great - but when push comes to shove (and depending what department management is overseeing the work), the job and project duties may require hefty amounts of overtime that are not requested, but expected. Though HDR does a lot of International work, most of the jobs are in the United States. Management choices are not always consistent with the company vision and mission.
