Pros

Many employees are highly motivated and skilled in their areas of expertise. Large national presence allows for many projects of large scale and complexity.

Cons

Other than for cutting staff, the Architecture management team has not one whit as to how deal with market conditions. The HDR of old is gone and senior management is dominated by political animals and bean counters in Omaha. Most of the people who built HDR up from the 1990's buyout are retired or soon will be shortly.
