Business Outlook
Pros
- Iconic projects - Profit share scheme - Arup University - Encourages to apply for Chartership status - Short/Long-term secondments - Good opportunities BUT you have to be at the right place, the right time, working with the right people
Cons
- Low salaries - Poor supervision - Managers are generally Senior/Associate Engineers with many years of experience - working many years does not make you a good MANAGER necessarily! Thus management was often really bad.. - Long hours - Culture of unpaid overtime - Poor support to graduates/apprentices in small offices - Many hours wasted on travelling - Innovation in design not always welcome - older staff prefer standard solutions to save time/be on the safe side
