It's a paycheck

Pros

The salaries and benefits HNTB offers to employees are hard to find in this industry. If you're looking to simply support your family, put food on the table and provide them healthcare...HNTB might be a good fit.

Cons

Leadership and organization of the company as a whole is terrible. It's like working for the Government...lots of departments with overlapping responsibilities, each with their own political walls in place, and no clear direction or desire to work together on common goals. Leadership is totally disconnected from the reality of those actually providing services to their clients, which makes "change for the better" extremely slow and hard to accomplish in this company. If you're looking to change the engineering industry for the better, it's best to find a job elsewhere as you will be deeply disappointed with your experience at HNTB

Good projects, not so great upper management.

Pros

The projects are some of the best projects to work on and are very interesting. Even professional employees can get straight-time over-time for any hours over 40 hours if approved by manager.

Cons

No mentor-ship program, no program to help employees grow, benefits are not good. I was asked to work on projects with tight or non-existent budgets and asked not to bill (ie work on my own time) and since it was not billed, that time is not recognized by management.

Pros

The managers at HNTB will let you develop as much as you are willing to take initiative. You have the opportunity to work on some of the most innovative and largest projects in the country and with some of the best people. Compensation, benefits, and personal opportunities for growth are some of the best in the industry.

Cons

Depending on your manager, there may be a lack of communication or development. However, if you take initiative and talk to your manager about where you want your career to go, then you will be given these opportunities. In the recent past there have been some layoffs, but nothing out of line with what the rest of the industry (or any industry in the US) has experienced over the last few years during the Great Recession.
