Pros

Wide range of clients and global reach with interesting projects. Global knowledge sharing opportunities. Arcadis global company has strong values and good attitude to work / life balance. Continually growing organisation. Renumeration appears to be consistent with industry averages.

Cons

Work & cultural values are promoted at senior level but often ignored by middle management. Expansion is by acquisition & v.little organic growth, this results in a continual restructure and reduced promotional opportunities (recent merger with ECHarris in UK has demonstrated this as Arcadis UK employees have been passed over by the new ECH branded company when restructuring). Common with big companies there is a danger of being pigeon holed within a sector / client area.

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
