Transition from Privately owned company to Publicly owned company

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

After my company was sold/bought by Arcadis-US, I was unsure about the new company. What I have experience so for is that the opportunities to excel are broader with the new company and accessibility to new and different project are greater.

Cons

The problem with the transition to the new company is the that micro-management is greater now. Projects budgets seem to be tighter and shorter deadlines which puts increase pressure on employees to work on their own time to meet deadlines. This can be a moral drain. It is increasingly harder to disengage from ones job by taking vacation time and not looking at ones email.

Monotanous, but there is still a lot to learn, depending on your role and which site. Not for environmental engineers.."

Pros

You can work overtime depending on the site and client, paid hourly if you're not a supervisor, make straight pay overtime. They provide training like large companies do. Not my experience, but with the different site locations and various clients, you could have various types of experiences with Arcadis.

Cons

You may feel like a number as they are constantly expanding. There are good people here, but the connection has not been strong for me. Depending on the site, you will not travel even if they say you will. Supervisors may hold onto employees without providing much incentive because of shortage of employees. We should get paid time and a half overtime, especially working in the field. Unless you have decades of history with Arcadis, you will not get time and a half, even working weekends or night shifts.
