Pros

Not much. Nice office space I guess. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Good pay but NOT worth it.

Cons

Avoid working at Arcadis if you're in Toronto! Not a team work environment and questions were discouraged. No work training and other employees are looking to pass blame/squash the newbies. Constant negativity towards other employees. Overtime hours are expected but are NOT paid. I was excluded and treated horribly. Other new employees got free equipment and lunches when starting, I did not. Its very hot and cold on who is liked or not. It was shocking how badly they wanted me gone when I started ... all I wanted to do was excel and do well. Hard to do when you're excluded and set up to fail. I tried very hard but it was an absolute mess.
