Pros

Great people who want to do quality work. A lot of the staff people and project managers are very good at what they do, when they are allowed to do it.

Cons

Upper management has fostered a culture of "lying to itself" by forcing all forecasts to be overly positive. Then, when projects don't come in on those "blue sky" forecasts, everyone in project leadership takes a beating. Let's not talk about the stock price and ESOP performance over the last 3 years....

Pros

Different types of Project If you can Extract truth

Cons

Hostile Working Environment I worked for them and it was terrible. The manager was a back bitter and then I learned that I was among 5 more. From the time I was hired I got a lot of attitude and misinformation from my co-workers or should I say arch enemies. One guy actually told me that he was opposed to having an outsider hired into the group about 1 month after I had been hired. My boss turmed my training over to people who did not want me or any other person (she did not manage the my training at all) "from the outside" hired on. Its hard to produce good work when sabotage is a foot. I was getting false information, incomplete information to none at all (they were just too busy to help me). What's worse is that HR did nothing about it and I was unjustly let go for a job that I had extensive experience in. It was unjust to let me go but it feels GOOD to be gone. If I could give them NO stars I WOULD.

Evil Lurks at HNTB

Pros

Great employees who are devoted and very competent. Trying to implement innovative technology in design.

Cons

Cold, detached management (executive level). Lack of concern for employee development. High dollar salaries paid to executives while rank and file positions are cut. Lavish executive retreats to extravagant destinations while the employees were expected to cut back. Cold, uncaring H.R. leadership team.
