Pros

-very efficient and intelligent tools to get the job done -focuses on community involvement and "fun workplace" environment -good place for new grads to build their career

Cons

-lot of employees are cliquey and not very willing to help you. Was recommended to "make a lot of friends here" in order to seek help -sectored business model results in being "parted out" to other offices; and you still have to go in 3x a week. -HR and upper management is corporate to a tee

While we’re disheartened your experience fell short of our high standards, we’re glad you found value in our robust tools and engaging, community-oriented culture, which are both designed to ensure employees thrive in their careers. Our hybrid workplace supports this by giving employees opportunities to form in-person connections with colleagues during their three in-office days every week. That said, strong performance always comes first, and we expect all team members to support one another, regardless of personal relationships. Our growth is driven by our people, which is why leadership and HR maintain an open-door policy to hear ideas and concerns. We truly appreciate the feedback and invite you to call us at 913-742-5000 as we would like to dive deeper into the specifics of your experience. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Pros

Flexible work environment and ability to work remote

Cons

Always ask you to do more. Dangle the carrot of more compensation just to be let down.

Great place for new Engineers

Pros

The money is decent, there is always something fun going on in the offices, lots of foody type events, but I believe the biggest draw is the people. The employees are the biggest asset and I can't say I've met one that was not pleasant to work with.

Cons

Workload ebbs and flows, sometimes the workload cannot be completed and other times EIT and Designers are looking for work.

We couldn’t agree more – what makes Team Henderson truly special is our people! And, you can’t go wrong with great food. As with client-driven deadlines at any company, periodic shifts in workload are to be expected and we greatly appreciate the flexibility of our team members to deliver quality work through the ebbs and flows. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and all the best in your future endeavors.
