Arcadis reviews

Most Management if you can call it that are illusionist and add no value to the bottom line , since they deal with other illusionist their job is to always keep the illusion going that they actually know what they doing and add value to the company, they never get called out on bad decisions due the fact their colleagues are all playing the same game, this would explain project after project being out of budget and nothing has ben done except thousands of hours billed to the project of management one upping each other that they are the better illusionist . In addition there is a us vs. them mentality with all the various companies brought under one roof and no teambuilding whatsoever it seams no one driving the ship.

The dynamic of the workplace differs significantly between locations. ARCADIS has grown significantly through acquisitions; therefore, there are still several barriers to break down between employees from different backgrounds (previous companies). A principal internal complaint with ARCADIS is that they management does not look out for the junior staff. The supervisors and mentors in my experience have taken significant interest in investing in the junior staff, but the management style and method of establishing performance metrics often negatively affects the younger staffers.
