Pros

This is a financially strong company that's growing. It provides excellent benefits and compensation. The majority of technical staff are good to work with. Apple equipment is issued to the graphic designers. In house printing in some locations.

Cons

Lower management is micromanaging, emotional, incompetent, negative, passive aggressive and weak. Marketing coordinators-no matter how junior-are over designers no matter how senior. Management does not know how to manage in general and really doesn't know how to manage designers. Management does not advocate for marketing staff. Work-life balance in marketing is bad. It's expected that marketing people will put work obligations ahead of personal commitments even if the work thing was last minute. Expect to work insanely long hours on big presentations. Travel was more than originally indicated. Graphic designer turnover is 70%. If you have a job that is decent don't let the pay and benefits that HNTB can offer change your mind. You will have to fight for personal time and will not be respected by your team.

Terrible Morale

Pros

The pay and benefits including vacation at HNTB are top notch. I loved the company for the first 3-4 years I was employed there because I was made to feel like I was making a difference and was valued by the company.

Cons

In a misguided attempt to make the Chairman of the Board richer before he retires (he needs to GO), HNTB has been chasing pipe dreams. Morale is down and people no longer feel like valuable contributers. There is no long-term or big picture thinking going on currently. It is all how can we make today the most profitable regardless if it hurts the company in the long run.
