Pros

Good people to work with. Good projects to work on. Offices have central urban locations.

Cons

Can get lost in the shuffle as it is a big company and some people do have personal agendas that may not include advancement of others.

Pros

Strong values and culture. Good opportunities to develop businesses and win work in areas of personal business interest. The company gives you the freedom to pursue the training and development you are interested in.

Cons

Different Groups at Arup operate and manage very differently. So workload, projects, over-time, recognition and promotions/salary can be very different. There seems to be little core structure for team and line management processes and procedures, and where line managers have minimal experience and guidance lower grades can suffer in progression and understanding.
