Pros

The experience from HKA has served me well in the Construction industry. At HKA, I learned to do thorough research efficiently. My written communication skills greatly improved as well. There are lots of opportunities for growth and constant learning.

Cons

Work was very demanding at times and I felt as if there was a lot of interference with my personal life outside of work. A lot of overtime was expected at times and in some instances my colleagues and I would work from 8 am - midnight in order to meet deadlines. I heard that other offices would give additional days off after a deadline but it seems as if the office I worked at overlooked the amount of work we put in. I would also get calls and requests to prepare work product late in the evening and at one point I worked every weekend for almost three months straight.

Pros

I've been able to work remotely and the team is friendly, knowledgeable and talented

Cons

It's a large corp and it can feel somewhat sterile as to how the actual execs communicate and interact

Thank you so much for posting your view and recommending HKA and for being positive about our business outlook. We appreciate the time you have taken and thank you for sharing your views. In addition, we really appreciate everything that you have contributed to make HKA a great place to work. We are pleased for you that you have found our team to be “friendly, knowledgeable, and talented” – we are super proud of our brilliant people and we know they make the difference to our clients and to why it is great to work in HKA. Thank you for challenging the way we communicate. We try to be authentic and communicate as much as we can in a variety of forms from videos, to being live in TownHall meetings and over our intranet and emails. Sounds like we could improve further from the point you have made and we will look to do that. We are passionate about moving forward with a hybrid model where colleagues can work in our offices and also from home. We see many benefits of being together and yet also providing flexibility for working remotely too. In terms of our yearly review process, always happy to talk about this and you will find much information on our Intranet. Do always feel free to reach out to me and our global people team, as we are here to help and support you. Again – many thanks for sharing your views. We love that you did. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
