HNTB reviews

Execs have made several poor strategic decisions over the past 5+ years. Jumped into the Federal market years after competitors made their play - and now that business unit is already gone. Current design / build initiative has no solid leadership. Legacy clients and business are often ignored due to the current 'next big thing' investment mindset. Company micro manages time on job to a level that distracts staff from focusing on projects / clients. HR leadership manages the staff like a minimum wage workforce.

Much of the focus in the last few years has been on increasing profit over delivering excellent work. There is still a passion for client satisfaction but as management has changed it has begun to slip and unless this company is pointed in a different course it will most likely be aquired by a large conglomerate. Although "employee owned" it is controlled by a board of non engineers who technically "work" for the company. In reality the majority shareholders function as a controlling board and the entire employee group gets 1/100 of the vote.
