Pros

Working from home is encouraged, decent benefits, good clients, low to mid-level staff are bright and begin their careers here with energy and optimism.

Cons

Those who made this a great company years ago (talented mentors and leaders, passionate and valuable staff) are leaving the company en masse, while those responsible for the downslide remain. Arcadis is losing work from their biggest clients (e.g. Chevron, BP) due to poor technical and safety performance and excessive overhead costs. Morale is at an all-time low. When I left, I didn’t know anyone that hadn’t recently updated their resume. Yet management is oblivious to their responsibility for this and continue this downward slide with no end in sight. Management’s increasing focus on internal politics and self-promotion while decreasing focus on retaining talented staff (zero) and providing service to their remaining clients will cause both talented staff and valuable clients to leave the company. My current company continues to rise in the ENR rankings while Arcadis has dropped each year over the last 4 years.
