Smart Strategy, Poor Culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

ARCADIS has a focused strategy, helping employees understand where they fit in the mix and how to contribute.

Cons

Years of acquisitions have left the company with a lack of culture and identity, and there was little investment to change that. Poor middle management led to young and middle level professionals stressed out, fearful, and worried about issues that they shouldn't have to--taking their focus from clients.

Pros

Great experience, exposure to many different types of work, lots of career paths to take if you are so motivated

Cons

Entry level women should not expect to be able to have children and a career here, if you don't fit into their vision of you, you're screwed, right place right time with right people is key to advancing
