Rare company that thinks about the big picture
Pros
Excellent coworkers and supervisors with Big 4 experience. Lots of opportunity to innovate if you show some initiative. Decent Pay/Worklife balance. We have a health fitness program called Vitality that encourages some health competition between various regions. Lots of coworkers have a long tenure at Hines. Your career is only limited by your initiative.
Cons
Career track is not transparent. Getting information about it is like pulling teeth. It seems like people who don't work with you may have a say in whether you're promoted or not. Some supervisors seem to believe in an arbitrary "pay your dues" period even if you are performing above and beyond your peers. Despite this, it is still possible to progress here. You just have to be relentless in keeping your supervisor informed about your progress.
