What makes working at HMC so rewarding?
Design excellence, meaningful projects, enriching professional relationships, opportunities for growth, and doing what you love.
Meaningful work
We design healthcare, education and civic projects, which means your work will impact the lives of patients, doctors, students, teachers, and communities. Now, that’s a valuable group.
Professional development
Our people are our greatest asset. Whether you’re fresh out of school or a seasoned pro, we provide and encourage opportunities for you to grow and do what you love.
Balance
We believe in work-life harmony. To promote balance and wellness, we offer flexibility in how and when we work. In fact, many studios have an alternative work schedule that gives you every other Friday off.
We are all owners
We have an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that rewards our people as owners of a business. We all work together to build our collective future, and this shared ownership makes us part of something bigger than ourselves.
Work With Perks
Wellness to well-being
Depending on your location, you’ll discover many opportunities to make friends and connect through yoga classes and gathering in the coffee bars or on-site gym. We also offer comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and pre-tax flex spending accounts.
Financial protection and retirement
Employer-sponsored life insurance and long- and short-term disability insurance. 401(k) plan with employer match, employee stock ownership plan.
Learning and development
From LinkedIn Learning and ARE study groups to design conferences, speaking events and exciting on-the-job experiences, we invest in our people and give them plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.
Student loan payments
Have student loans? We help employees pay them off faster by making cash payments to their existing student loan debt.
Office shenanigans
Firmwide events, happy hours, studio parties, and epic Halloween costume contests are just a few of the ways we like to have fun.
Balance
Alternate workweek schedules, paid holidays, paid time off for vacation and illness.
Xref travel fellowship
Since 2007, we’ve been sending employees to far flung corners of the world to experience new cultures, broaden their perspectives and explore—through our Xref travel fellowship program.
Employee Stock Ownership Program
Provided with no out-of-pocket cost, our ESOP is an excellent opportunity for you to grow retirement assets—especially when combined with your 401(k) participation.
Social innovation
Walks to fight homelessness, fun runs to benefit communities, food and supply drives. Our nonprofit, the Designing Futures Foundation (DFF) gives you the opportunity to give back through lots of fun activities.
