Pros

One of the best reasons to work for HNTB is the compensation and benefits package. Both are very competitive and often exceed competitors. The employee stock ownership program is also another great reason. Monetary reasons aside, the company is very focused on letting you decide where and how far you want to take your career. Workload is heavy throughout the entire company, and the chance to work on a wide variety of some interesting, some not so interesting, projects exists.

Cons

Work/life balance is often a negative attribute. Its either feast or famine, sometimes, working 70 hour weeks is not enough, while at other times, it is a struggle to get 40 in. Changes in upper management has brought in some new faces, and I am still undecided if the company made wise decisions in the promotion and hiring process.

Pros

While the culture varies by office, I found the California offices to have a very friendly, collaborative, and energetic atmosphere. The company also puts genuine effort into its internal events, consistently investing time and resources to make them well organized and enjoyable for employees. In addition, there is a strong culture of continuous learning. Employees are encouraged to develop new skills, and the company provides meaningful support for professional growth and ongoing development.

Cons

It used to be a great company, but its rapid expansion has made the organization feel less structured and less efficient. Compared with many other firms, the workload is exceptionally heavy, and there is a strong expectation that employees will work through long, exhausting hours to meet demanding deadlines. Performance expectations are also very high. As a result, employee turnover is significant, and it is not uncommon for people to leave or even return to their previous employers.
