Pros

Good place to make some good money. Talented coworkers and great support staff.

Cons

Completely top heavy although, strangely enough, no real leadership. Laser focus on revenue at all costs. Get down or lay down mentality.

Pros

there is a lot of experienced engineers here to gain some knowledge. The benefits are good. Some managers will give you the truth and not a cup of the company's kool-aid.

Cons

This company doesn't seen to care about it employees which is a employee owned company. as a engineering culture HNTB is very slow and behind the times. Seem to be focused on managing project then actually design and will sub out to teaming partners. no work share through the company, it is every office for itself. work work work TOJ!

Pros

Great national reputation as a design firm in the transportation market

Cons

This company is completely and totally obsessed with profits. For an employee owned company, I have never seen so many layoffs in my decade long career. Work sharing is also horrible. You could have an employee laid off with a rec open for that same position. No infinitive to work share. Every office is its own business unit. Literally, I have seen engineers hired and released within a year due to work load and projects ending. Experienced 5 layoffs in 10 years, including one 3 months after I was hired. Also, all officer level positions filled from outside. Very few officers get there organically.
