Business Outlook
Pros
Arup's specific ownership structure (no profit reported to outside shareholders) makes it a naturally employee oriented firm, with a developed sense of community, broad employee benefits and career development opportunities, including international assignments and other lateral move options.
Cons
Personal and career growth opportunities may be limited for non-technical staff. There may also be a general perception for non-project staff to be second-category citizens, regardless of their experience, education and value, just because they are not engineers. The salaries are below competitive compared to similar positions in similar firms, although for many it is balanced out by benefits and friendly work environment.
