The workplace has downgraded at a large scale ever since they moved from the original office suite to a much smaller and older building. The restrooms are old and outdated. The elevator is extremely slow and malfunctioned at times. The office space is narrow and small. They use cubicles to distance one another and the co-workers are usually noisy and loud, too much disturbance in the workplace. 

They provided excessive workload within a short period of time. Ever since the pandemic, they stopped paying overtime and we were actually working overtime with no pay. 

I wouldn’t recommend anyone pursuing a Civil Engineering career to work in this firm. 

A typical day at work would be coming in sitting in front a computer with in a cubical and logging into Microstation or AutoCAD to work on renovation type bridge projects.

 I learned how to be more productive with Microstation and AutoCAD.  I was able to pick up on some tricks that made the job go quicker and easier.

Management were nice and professional

Work place was a typical cubicle setting

The hardest part of the job was understanding something without the resources to back it up.  I did not have the internet at my disposal.

The most enjoyable part was going out in the field to inspect some major bridge type projects.

This is my last career stop. I have been with H&H for more than ten years and have been given increasing responsibility, and commensurate pay raises. My boss has been loyal/supportive, and I have career advancement opportunities. The CEO is accessible to every employee, which I have never found at other AEC firms. While competitors have approached me, there is no reason to test other options. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The owner is an amazing person one of the greatest men I’ve ever known 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing at all that I can think of 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Different places depending on the contract 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You mostly have your own schedule

H&H is well a respected and known engineering firm within the world of movable bridges and is now expanding service lines and into new regions. There are growing plains but overall a great place to work.

H&H is acquiring new companies and growing its business in new regions.  Work sharing occurs often and there is no shortage of work. Meeting deadlines when team members are busy can be challenging. Feeling that you are part of a professional organization. 

Your advancement and opportunities vastly differ by who runs your group.  If you get a bad manager (there are several), it will be a dead-end job with poor compensation  and zero gratitude.  The OT expectations are brutal for what they pay you.  There are also a lot of double standards.  If you are a person of color, you will not be promoted quickly.

The culture at Hardesty & Hanover is so unique that it is hard to find such a friendly and employee focused environment at any place else in todays' highly competitive consulting environment. Employees are empowered and are one one of the best bridge engineers I have the pleasure of working for.

The firm has a solid reputation, especially in movable bridges.  Best known for their work in NY, which is their headquarters.  However, there seems to be some favoritism to those in the NY office. A feeling that the best engineers are there.  I was surprised at the high turnover rate.  But maybe that is a sign of the times.

Company continues to grow, which provides new opportunities for advancement. Regular visits from principals and CEO help you to get involved with upper management.
