Good company that needs to refocus on client service.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salaries and bonus potential. Interesting project work.

Cons

Very high billable rate goals. Unrealistic billable hour goals for senior staff who are also expected to bring in work and complete administrative tasks. The constant threat of layoffs based on billable rate alone has led to work hoarding and lack of client service.

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...
