Pros

Supportive staff, willingness to work towards development and chartership.

Cons

Despite my professional development efforts, securing memberships, taking on significant internal roles, and consistently exceeding expectations for our clients, these actions have rarely resulted in any meaningful increase in my compensation. In reality, my current salary is materially below market rates by about £10–15k, considering my region, responsibilities, and years of experience. Arcadis’s proposed solution is for me to pursue an internal promotion if I wish to receive a pay rise.
