Pros

I loved my job and felt good about this company when I first started (2012). There were good people to work with, lots of forward momentum and not a ton of entitlement. We were on a path to do good things. What a difference a new CEO and COO can make . . .

Cons

I'm actually surprised this company still exists. The new management started down a road and did not communicate 1. the changes they wanted to make; 2. the reason they wanted to make these changes and 3. how they were going to make the changes as painless as possible. So no one really knew what was going on until the change was already upon them - no change management or preparation for anyone. It was very difficult to live through this. And in the meantime, the good people were being asked to leave or just leaving on their own unhappily. They brought in people from Europe who had NO IDEA how business in the US works, yet they wanted to follow their structure. No questions asked. No discussion allowed.

Pros

Plenty of work if youre fine with doing whatever. Can expense basically whatever you need for a project.

Cons

Will hire you for a job without telling you that there will be a large travel expectation. Will put your billability ahead of your mental health and work life balance, Arcadis does not do a good job of taking care of its people.

Pros

The group I work in is strong and communicative. The benefits are great. With a little initiative, there is a great variety of projects to work on. The activity bases workplace office arrangement make it very easy to work from home, or anywhere. Raises and bonuses at least once per year.

Cons

Project sharing across business lines is scarce. Constant emphasis on billability, but that's consulting. Performance reviews are a joke and based only on billable hours. Haven't had a legitimate career goal since I started. Not always easy to understand what the big picture is regarding a client or project - work can be compartmental at times.
