Pros

Good technical skills, interesting projects, capable staff, adequate compensation and benefits; potential to work outside of your local area; bonus program (for key staff)

Cons

Extremely arrogant attitude towards clients, staff, and competitors - they know more than the client on how work should be done. High billing rates and utilization requirements price them out of work. Guaranteed program alienates customers and has latent liabilities (losses)

Pros

I would only recommend this company to entry level people looking to gain experience. No other pros to list.

Cons

When you think of a typical large corporate company, Arcadis is exactly that. You are just a number at Arcadis. Below industry standard compensation and well below standard benefits. Turnover is at an alarming rate. There is consistent restructuring and reorganization due to the high turnover rate. Nepotism is at an all time high. If you aren't sucking up to senior management, you have no chance of getting a raise or promotion no matter how hard you work. Hard work goes unnoticed. Arcadis ended their employee bonus reward program (red flag!). Finding ways to take money out of your employees' pockets isn't a solution. If you enjoy working around incompetent management, this company is for you.

Pros

Projects are good, few employees are good

Cons

Toxic work environment, active office politics. Bullying and harassment at its peak. And this depends on the department where you work. I heard some departments have healthy work environment. I recommend not to join. There is no job security. If you pretend you dont know anything and behave like a "Yes sir, Ok sir" employee, yeah then there are chances of surviving. But its an every day fight for survival.
