Pros

Good, friendly team with consistent work and a healthy work life balance. The team was managed well and the hours were definitely healthy.

Cons

Definite ceiling on career progression within design. Can be stuck on a certain project for a long period of time but that is the nature of the job.

Pros

- Nothing unique - Wages are reasonable - Global company so worldwide opportunities exist by default

Cons

- A careless board unwilling to admit their mistakes and failings - "Talk the talk" but don't and cant deliver what they say they do. They are slaves to utilisation like every company in consulting. That's fine, we get it. Don't pretend to care. - "Arcadis way" One way of working? This is good because....... I guess it will make it easier when the people are replaced by robots if they are already acting like robots. - The worst HR teams and delivery I have ever experienced - Incompetent, overpaid leadership - Consistently poor financial performance. Inability to deliver to shareholders and market

Pros

it closes for Christmas free coffee (although unpleasant)

Cons

Constant recycling of management with each bringing in fresh levels of incompetence. No attention to people other than to push out to client sites Extremely poor morale. High turnover of staff. Either you leave voluntarily or stick around for the annual redundancy consultation. I pity poor graduates coming into this business. They will simply be fodder for the feast at the Partner table.
