Could be great, but the problems are systemic

Business Outlook

Pros

Health, dental and vision benefits are really good. Great project support from licensed professionals, technical professionals, and admin staff.

Cons

Multiple management changes meant multiple system changes, which disrupts the project process. Divisions are set up in such a way that encourages hoarding of work, leading to some project staff being overloaded and others without enough work. Gender discrimination is rampant in some departments and divisions. Not nearly enough mentoring or support from senior management to staff and project level personnel. Outsourcing work overseas has lead to inferior quality and morale issues.

Pros

Big company, great reputation in the industry. I attended a few interviews after leaving the company, every manager I met liked to hear that I come from Arcadis/ EC Harris.

Cons

The office politician could be a lot to take. Since the office has about 100 employee. there was training for juniors in the beginning, after a few sessions, then the training stopped.
