I can't imagine two different firms. I mean they're miles apart. What are your values? Is this the kind of firm you want to contribute your time?

I know some people who worked at HDR, because they needed a job and money to live, and now do some of the most considered community-centric design going on in Chicago. Yes, it's good to align your values but it is also a privilege to be able to make those decisions.
I've known several people who worked at HDR. They all appeared to have learned a very cutthroat, everything is a competition, do anything to get ahead, type attitude from the firm.
MASS Design Group Intern
Does anyone hear back from MASS for an internship interview?
Also, what do you think about HDR for an architectural intern? If you worked there, please describe some of your experiences working there. Thank you!
don’t work for free.

I don't disagree, my point is MASS vs. HDR?? It's like OMA vs. Dick Butts.
On that point, it is impossible to disagree.
I will say that in the corporate world it is sometimes possible to fly under the radar and eek out a few good projects, but you have to be lucky.

I was wondering did anyone hear back from MASS for an internship interview? How long usually it will take for them to get back or they already did?
