      High tier firm with low tier pay. Great culture - dismal benefits.

      Pros

      Great culture, good values, nice office, there can be good international opportunities if you seek them out. Great recognised brand.

      Cons

      You will not make as much money as your peers who work at other consulting firms, at local government, in academia or state/federal government. The pay is distributed very strangely within the firm - and it is very difficult to get financially rewarded for doing a great job. The profit share is much lower than you will expect. This leaves the firm unable to retain the "bright star" staff that it tries to attract. If you are ambitious I do not recommend you stay long - go somewhere else and come back when you have experience and they give you a better base salary. You will not be rewarded properly until you have been at the firm over ten years - this is not an overstatement.

      Would not recommend, Nothing special but too much arrogance

      Consultant

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      WFH - Flexibility No micromanagement No overtime profit share

      Cons

      *Low-key prejudiced - I mean, I had to face bullying from day one either due to racism or sexism or both from more than one team members. They stopped giving me opportunities and did everything to ruin my confidence. Meanwhile, management was sleeping or didn't care. On paper, it's a very "diverse" and "open-minded" company, but in reality, it's far worse than big 4s. The arrogance of employees of all levels was appalling. *Very unappreciative - Management has little to no understanding of skills of employees, although it depends on the team. No review process, or no feedback ever given on any work well done. Only bad feedback is promptly given. *Low risk tendency - Arup wants to play safe, but it's corporate. They have too much arrogance to compete against most companies.

      Sinking ship

      Pros

      Wfh available, and friendly staff

      Cons

      They offer well below market average in salary, using the profit share scheme as an incentive. Yet they stopped paying out our bonus / or we got very little back. They will make you redundant as soon as the work dries up
