Productive and hardworking people
EIT (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - 7 November 2023
Colleagues are very knowledgeable and know what they’re talking about. There are many opportunities to work with others but growth is limited in the position.

Different Culture
Receptionist/Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - 3 November 2023
Ridged environment. not everyone will be able to work in this kind of environment. But again, everyone is different. I was there for 8 months and was very micromanaging. They are very set in their own ways. Turn over rate

The coworkers and benefits were a great plus to the work environment.
Right of Way Agent (Current Employee) - Rosemont, IL - 16 October 2023
My typical work day consist of emails and task and follow up. I was taught to multi task by handling the each task that was given to me by prioritizing and completing with satisfaction to the project and team. The most enjoyable part of my job is to see a project from start to finish with a success of making a company profit and a client happy.
Pros
The flexibility of working with others on different projects.

Need to evaluate their focus
Analyst (Former Employee) - Portland, OR - 9 October 2023
Difficult company to work for… the office maintenance manager has to review everything you bring into the office to make sure you’re not going against their “green” policies and contributing to waste. The accounting manager cannot handle their team and needs to reevaluate their position, HDR needs a high impact manager in this position.

Productive and fun
Mechanical eit (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - 7 October 2023
Great work life balance and decent pay. Lots of smart individuals and great people but due to the pandemic company culture is slightly lacking. Will most likely take time

Charlotte office is cool
ITS ENGINEER (Former Employee) - Charlotte, NC - 13 September 2023
Charlotte office is cool. Benefits aren’t great. Compared to other companies they are behind. They push company “ownership” but it’s not like you’ll be getting a bonus if you deliver your project under budget.

Friendly and Welcoming
IT Support Specialist (Current Employee) - Austin, TX - 6 September 2023
Every HDR office I've traveled to has been so welcoming and friendly. Rude employees don't stand a chance here! From the highest ranking employees to the lowest, they are all great people to work around and be around.

Nice Place to Work
Project Controls Manager (Current Employee) - Walnut Creek, CA - 2 August 2023
Easy going atmosphere. Management trusts its employees to get the work done. Overall, A+ as far as employee ownership goes. Some PMs need training, as growth is what keeps its stock price high.

Great environment

Great work environment. Opportunity for growth. Because it’s project driven, it can be stressful at times. Leadership does a good job with providing stress outlets.
