Pros
Hines is widely respected within real estate circles and has a stellar reputation as a manager, developer and owner. Hines is committed to the growth of its employees and has created excellent internal training programs that share the collective experience and knowledge of the Hines team. Hines is a top real estate firm and therefore attracts some of the most dedicated and successful real estate professionals. The reputation of the firm and the top notch personnel are both excellent reasons to join Hines.
Cons
There is some compartmentalization between the different functions within the company, particularly between development and management. It is difficult to explore opportunities within other disciplines and cross-pollination between teams is not encouraged. In terms of the firm's identity, property management sometimes seems like an afterthought, which can be challenging for those in that field.
