Pros

-Fun work events and out of office opportunities -Free snacks and beautiful office views -Certain amount of creative freedom

Cons

Toxic work environment. Most employees are openly miserable, place blame and are rude to one another. Terrible management structure with little to no support or project management. The company has gone through mass layoffs leaving employees with a constant fear of losing their jobs.

Pros

On one hand this company tries to embrace a forward thinking culture and for the most part they do. On the other hand, some of the executives are stuck in the past with old ways of thinking. The executive team in Dallas seems to be open to hearing your ideas. There are great benefits, some of the best I have seen. If you do you work, there is not much to complain about. There is a new monthly huddle for the whole office where everyone is updated on projects. Beer on Fridays is nice.

Cons

Many of the issues that I have encountered are no different from every other company I have worked for. The office decor needs improvement and is cramped. Not very inspiring - specially for the corporate office of "most creatively driven real estate company".

Howard Hughes Communities Response

Hello! Thank you for sharing your insight. The HH Monthly Standup in Dallas is one of our favorite new traditions, and we've certainly seen the effects of more face-to-face connection with our leadership team taking root. In terms of your feedback about our decor, we have heard you, and we are working to solve for this in Dallas to accomplish our mission. We will also be passing your advice to management through the appropriate channels. Thank you again taking the time to review your experience here. Please reach out to culture@howardhughes.com if you'd like to share any further feedback!
