Culture

HDG team members enjoy a casual, social work environment. We don’t wear suits, we don’t clock in and out, and we don’t micromanage. We do work hard, have dogs in the office, and play on our shuffleboard table when time allows. Because our work is challenging, we enjoy that our environment is not. Work and fun remain connected here, and we set aside time for fun in addition to focusing on technical expertise and client needs. Our space is fun, too. HDG is located in a rejuvenated industrial building in the Central Eastside, right next to the railroad line where we can hear the familiar whistle and rumble of the trains working their way down the tracks every day.
