Pros

Competitive and non-micromanagement style. Environment set-up for employees to be self sufficient is great once you get into the flow of things.

Cons

Lots of changes and struggles with consistency from leadership due to dynamics. Arcadis is a very big company and feels distant at times.

Pros

ARCADIS was at the top of the game at one time and still is to a certain extent. Some of the strongest people in the business with internal technical programs that other companies would envy. Most of the people were fantastic and experience was overall great!

Cons

Compensation is not that great and you are extremely overworked. Also, senior staff that most looked up to were starting to be dismissed. As I saw mentors and leaders get released, asked to leave, or leave on their own due to bottom line pressures, I realized that ARCADIS is not the place for me in the long term.

Thank you for the positive feedback and pleased to hear Arcadis was a first choice for the start of your career. We hope Arcadis can also be a long term careers choice also. Unfortunately, due to the nature of our work, site offices can be quite far for mainland cities, but fully understand the challenges this presents for our people. Thank you.
