Pros

The people you're working with are great.

Cons

The people you're working for, aren't. No leadership from management, lack of planning, expected to work long hours.

Pros

It isn't necessary to be proficient in engineering to be a favoured Arup employee, you need merely to have spent a gap yah somewhere patronising the natives.

Cons

Should you leave the Arup bubble for another company, you'll find out that you do need to be proficient in engineering.

Pros

Total freedom to put your own stamp on things. It's not disorganised, but organic. Staff are treated like adults and respected to make their own decisions. Some of the work is truly inspiring and the company very obviously lives and breathes its brand values and the principles laid out in the Key Speech.

Cons

Career progression in Business Services (i.e. anything outside the customer-facing service lines) is limited. Lack of edge and sometimes foggy decision making/lack of imperative can be frustrating
