I'm not going to tell you to not work at Hines of all places, but Atlanta's office is a weird one compared to Hines other offices nation-wide.

The people I'd consider the best in the office all left years ago. One of the main MDs who remained is a huge asshole. 

Very much seems to be a place people get their couple years of experience in for the resume and then get out. 

I will say that the heavy timber building they built is cool as hell, so it's not like they aren't innovators, but I typically think of a Hines office as the best of the best most places. I wouldn't consider them that in Atlanta.

I've also recently had a very poor experience with the Hines team in my market. Sort of just amateur hour shit on a transaction. Not going to specify but it's a gateway market. Was sort of surprised by the quality of the people they have running the show there.

Best way I could describe it was Big 4 type vibes. Professional, well-educated people who probably look good on paper. But not that impressive in person and you get the sense that without the bigger machine around them they would be totally helpless.

 

Was also just curious to hear more about Hines in general in recent years. Agree with the comments above and that it varies market-by-market (pretty much all firms it feels like), but have seen a lot of transition/people leaving more than I would have expected in the last couple of years across the firm. A lot of MD and Director level folks. Seems somewhat too coincidental with the daughter coming in as Co-CEO in the last 5 or so years but again, maybe just a coincidence.

I had heard (maybe in other posts) that their pay structure had change and now know there is clear siloing of product type on the development side (always thought they looked/developed all product types but could be mistaken). Example - people just looking strictly at MFH or Industrial.
