Pros

- Work experience - Brand name

Cons

- Overwork you to the brink of destruction - Grossly underpaid and reluctant to pay you overtime (despite just casually expecting you to work overtime) - No respect for lunch breaks (managers will call you up and schedule meetings whenever floats their boat) - Having an empathetic manager might lead to a better experience, I was unfortunate to have a robot as my manager

Pros

Working at Arup was a great experience, surrounded by smart, motivated, and mission-driven peers.

Cons

This may have since improved, but at least previously, the America's region felt rather second-class compared to UK. Most/all senior leadership, even in the US, was British.

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
