Henderson-Engineers

A once small, employee-centric firm which became extremely bloated in the last several years in an attempt to become a profit-driven corporation. Turnover spiked to over double the rate in past years, and many experienced/senior individuals have left due to stagnant/poor leadership, low pay, and little room for advancement. Careers are made and broken depending on whether or not you curry favor with certain individuals within power, not based on skills or merit. 

Poor process documentation, combined with frequent changes on the whim of leadership with poor downward communication, which leads to frequent hurdles accomplishing the most basic of tasks. Inter-department accountability is non-existent, which creates frustrations for employees and internal conflict. Plenty of opportunity for developing new skills and learning new technologies, as the company typically does not backfill positions resulting in more work for employees with no additional compensation. 

Henderson Engineers has a lot of great perks:  Great projects to work on, wonderful people to work with, very competitive benefits including an in-house workout facility and free workout classes and very flexible hours.  However, much of the day-to-day company management lacks leadership and communication skills. For promoting itself as forward thinking, the company still clings onto very near term financial results, often bypassing some fairly low-cost investments in long-term strategies that could yield great benefits in the future by developing expertise now. Promotions are unpredictable and vary widely across the company, there is no equality in regards to advancement among different design teams within the company.

I worked as a BIM Specialist (part of the IT department when I was there) at Henderson and it was a good place to grow my technical skills as they have a wide variety of projects and teams. The company invests in new technology and development and it allowed us to explore and develop new and exciting BIM tools. The end users (engineers, designers etc.) that I worked with were all very friendly and knowledgable. Great HR team but not so great department management. My department was very focused on keeping costs low while working as many hours as possible. Sometimes understandable, but sometimes it was just pointless micromanaging. Great place to grow technical skills and meet talented professionals, however, it did seem like we had to choose between being valued or having work-life balance, not both. 

I've worked at Henderson Engineers in an HR role and had a genuinely positive experience. The company culture is one of the strongest I've encountered; people are collaborative, leadership is highly accessible, and there's a real emphasis on treating employees well. As an employee-owned firm, there's a sense of shared purpose that shows up in how people work together day to day.

Benefits and work-life balance are solid, and the company invests in its office environment and employee experience in ways that make it a place people want to stay.

Henderson Engineers its a great company. they have a super good & well structure team work force. Constant training are available, PAID!, Lots of employees benefits, flexibility & support. 
The only downfall, if any, for people with families it's the extensive working hours, due to their commitment to quality. Projects are revised many times during the design process, that delay a lot the project completion, specially when you have several projects assigned, with overlapping due submission dates. That's why you may need to work many extra hours to comply with your responsibilities. 

The work environment is somewhat relaxed.  Dress code is casual.  Advancement track is primarily through project management and program management with limited upward mobility for highly technical people.  

Some managers like to pigeon hole people into limited roles where they can be highly profitable but have virtually no real opportunity to advance.  These roles take the form of working exclusively or nearly exclusively for certain clients.  While this approach is profitable the result for the designer is to become over-specialized in the eyes of management and in actual ability.

Working here as an engineer is okay. If you get along with your coworkers and team leaders, then you'll probably enjoy your time here. The culture is very intense and there is a lot of emphasis on team-building and supporting the company. 





Henderson has very flexible work hours and good compensation. The people here love what they do and put a big emphasize on teamwork, quality and customer satisfaction. My co-workers are friendly and helpful. The work environment is fast-paced with not a lot of time to get situated into your new position. It can be hard to get on pace with every one else but Henderson has a lot of great self paced training material that helped me get to speed. I see myself being able to build a great career here.

Henderson is a company where people can really reach their full potential. Employees are supported and truly cared about. They are on a flextime schedule with casual dress and an open door policy. Management cares about the lives and careers of their employees and help create a solid work/life balance. The laid back atmosphere and company sponsored happy hours are the icing on top of the cake.

Henderson Engineers tries very hard to create a good work environment and a good work/life balance throughout the company however, that doesn't really trickle down to the national offices.  Additionally, the opportunities for advancement and job growth are less at some of the national offices due to the lack of management BY the local management.
