HDR reviews

Actions within the organization unfortunately don't match the mission statement and stated core values; The organization is grouped into sectors and the sectors don't work as one company; This creates a lot of cross competition and less focus on the client; If you are male, you definitely have a better chance at promotion. Diversity is limited to skill, there is no cultural diversity to speak of.

Company growth and drive to minimize corporate overhead limits employee training, assignments, promotion, and individual opportunity. Company culture and management seems to be treading toward a singular focus on stock price, resulting in high utilization goals, lots of unpaid after hours work and marketing, loss of career training and advancement, and work/life balance. Limited managers at regional and corporate levels spreads support and leadership thin resulting in inadequate engagement and input at the program and project level. Must be plugged into the HDR hierarchy and have relationship with leadership to advance and weather slow periods when the local market have downturns. Willing to travel and relocate key to job security and career advancement.
