Pros

Big company, good people, poor contract management

Cons

No one knows how to manage contractors. I was well thought of when I started, but when a client ignorant of the areas we were working in spoke no one would engage her ignorance and refute it.

Pros

Projects can be interesting, colleagues are typically great, good PTO policy.

Cons

Company has been struggling financially for the past couple years, multiple rounds of layoffs and many voluntary leavers. Generally paid lower than industry average at the moment.

The exciting projects are why I joined Arup, glad you found the same. Yes, like many firms we’ve faced really challenging conditions. But overall we’ve grown at a modest rate – particularly in areas including energy, water, technology, building retrofit and transport. And we’re in good shape for the future. - Ant

Pros

- amazing amount of knowledge and expertise available at your fingertips - made lifelong friends globally - progressed my career quickly - great 401k matching program

Cons

- perceived the pay lower base salary in the market - profit share varied significantly during my time there; however, was never groundbreaking - takes a long time to remove bad eggs from the firm due to structure
