Pros

Some really great people work there, they have a nice staff canteen, the hours arent too long if you are clever about what work you do.

Cons

Poor pay - EC Harris pays well below the competition. I managed to get a 40% pay rise by leaving, only when I handed in my notice did they make me an offer commensurate with market rates. Poor Progression - Even when I had agreed to take on more responsibility and secured a promotion they didnt want to provide a pay rise! Poor training - As any surveyor will know, the APC and training is of major importance, I was promised the world! Actually, I was given very little support. Once I had raised some issues around my job, they provided even less training on the grounds of "you will just get chartered and leave". I was then informed that they dont like to train people for their apc if they havent been there at least 18 months, overall pretty poor! Poor management - well the list above kind of says it all!

Pros

Arcadis has decent benefits but nothing that their competitors can easily match. Arcadis has flexible work hour which is a big plus.

Cons

Very poor management. Very stressful work place, all emphasis is on billings, not quality control. Constant layoffs and very bad morale. Highly experience people are not respected in fact usually criticized by management, management is very insecure. Most of the best talent has been constantly leaving the company. Continuous learning is not encouraged due to cost. Most continuous learning has to be done on employees own time and expense.
