Arcadis reviews

Arcadis is a conglomeration of smaller companies buying up small companies, and occassionally big companies - unfortunately still try to apply small company approach to large company issues. Revenue growth appears to be based on regularly acquiring another company, not on growing organically or growing strength of staff or quality of work. Feels like an engineering company structured by and run by accountants...

This firm is pretty much a large holding company. They buy companies at a rapid rate and don't integrate them well. There is not an overarching system to link people and service offerings, there is no communication between business units, morale is low, and everything is about the bottom line. Upper management is completely disconnected. The Water Division is what once was Malcolm Pirnie, but the culture is completely different from what Pirnie once was and the Pirnie people are leaving at an alarming rate.
