Pros

Good culture, large company allows multiple offices to come together to work an extremely large and complex projects. Talant can be drawn company wide to achieve top-notch product delivery.The sharing of work between offices helps to deal with the ebb and tide of wolkload. Good corporate standards create a consistency across the company. The mannagement seems to be prettty open, honest and transparent.

Cons

As can be expected, there is less flexibilty due to large corporate standardization. Projects are often taken away from smaller offices to feed the larger ones.

Pros

If you land in a great department within HDR, you will enjoy working for the company.

Cons

If you land in a poorly managed department within HDR, working for the company will be a nightmare. Compensation is not that great compared to other similar companies. Managing multiple office locations has not been mastered.
