Pros

Some of the best and brightest architects and engineers work here. For an entry-level position, you can learn a lot and gain a tremendous amount of experience at HED.

Cons

HED has lagged similar firms tremendously over the last few years. At the end of 2014, several offices were still on shortened work weeks, and the 401k match had not been returned (suspended in 2008). The general lack of appreciation for support staff is astonishing, especially in the Chicago office.
