Pros

Diverse projects and growth opportunities for around the world. I actually loved the people i work with and everyone is always so eager to help no matter how dumb you think your question is.

Cons

Like every other global company, positions are based on client availability. Position will get laid off/furloughed no matter how much you have invested into the company. No sick days. Pay is very bad. Might be difficult for entry-levels because you don't have a wide network of people to pull you into projects.

There are never any dumb questions here but are glad to see you have a supportive team to help as questions come up! We love to have current employes learn and grow into more senior level roles over time and are glad to see that is coming through in your experience. We always do our best when such situations arise to find other work for employees before we would ever consider laying or furloughing a current staff member off, even if this means presenting work opportunities out of the state you are in. We do evaluate salaries/benefits multiple times a year to make sure we are staying competitive in the marketplace.

Pros

You join Arcadis for the job and stay for the people. I have worked with amazing people and have learned so much.

Cons

Long working hours with little recognition. Staff have taken on more responsibilities since 2020 without promotions and minimal yearly increases.

We appreciate your honest review and love to see that the people you work with have helped you grow in your career. Arcadis does have a rewards and recognition system where employees can receive recognition as well as bonuses based on performance. If you have not done so already, maybe a conversation with your line manager to see if this can be utilized more could help in this area.

Pros

Possibility of having a Hybrid work arrangement.

Cons

My experience at Arcadis was deeply disappointing and concerning. This company lacks commitment to fairness, professionalism, and ethical conduct in the workplace. I would caution prospective employees about these significant issues when considering opportunities here.
