Pros

Having worked at Hyder for 8 years, I can say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time her, my career has gone from strength to strenght and I have been given the chance to work on some really high profile projects.

Cons

Salary reviews are not really competitive enough from what I gather (job satisfaction oveall out weighs this for me though) There is a great cross team working environment at Hyder alrthough the Admin team are sometimes not very helpful, a lot of the time I find easier to do things myself rather than relying on them, which can eat into project/personal time...

Pros

Ive been here over 2 years. It's been a great experience to learn about technology in the remediation field as many of the leaders of the remediation field work within the company. The flexibility in work time is also nice. I have been able to work from other offices without any issues.

Cons

The management is sort of lacking when it comes to dealing with junior staff. My supervisor has no idea what I do since he never interacts with me which ends up hurting me at annual review time. it's He'd to move up in the company. I've been with the company 2.5 years and have yet to move up from an engineer 1 even though I do engineer 2 work. Offices can also be very clique which makes it difficult to get work, but then you are blamed for not meeting your billable hours.

Pros

Opportunities for civil engineers and project managers to climb to the top

Cons

We were instructed to defraud our customers by booking work on one project to another in order to make the budgets look ok. Staff were encouraged to bill overtime to customers without claiming the overtime payments they were due. Staff were expected to travel for company business in their own time without compensation.
