Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great supervisors, work-life balance, care about your well-being, great benefits, great clients
Cons
I cannot think of any cons of working here!
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits, interesting projects, decent respect and development of younger employees. The 401k and company stock are huge perks and the work life balance is okay most of the time. As a younger employee, there are good opportunities to get involved and grow your skills as long as you seek them out.
Cons
HDR's a big company and it shows. The organization is difficult to understand, it's a huge process to get anything done or make any changes, and it can feel like it's frustratingly impossible to make a difference. Also is very easy to feel like just a number to upper management, regardless of relationships with immediate coworkers and supervisors.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
- Great Company in engineering field
Cons
Work-life balance is not the best
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good work life balance as well as benefits. Large project available to work on as well as availability to work on projects all over the country.
Cons
The usual corporate structure found in every big company and the bottom line is they are more concerned with making money than the employees.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Company has stock that can be invested once a year. Work / life balance is pretty good
Cons
Too political - the firm is becoming too corporate. Some of the older project managers need more training and do not understand how to run a project successfully - especially when it comes to understanding the limitations of how employee abilities and new software impacts their project. They simply expect younger employees to do the work even if they are not good with the software. Benefits and pay can be better.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great People & Culture, Competitive Salary, ESOP, Work / Life Balance
Cons
Corporate Environment, Red Tape, Small/No Bonuses
