Pros

Decent pay and benefits Easy work and good balance Interesting projects Great sales pitch

Cons

ARCADIS touts their belief in ethics and training, but the fact is this is a good sounding lie as most of the pitches delivered from this company are. You will quickly experience a gross lack of professionalism, concern or straightforward answers. This is a company that is selling a service they can not deliver. People are in exodus. But management continues to sell, sell sell and focus on the next big promotion or bonus. Just another top heavy, cost cutting corporation run by self absorbed sociopaths.

Turnover. Lots of people have left arcadis recently due to poor stock performance. Management has been terrible with communications regarding the company. Billable hour goals have always been unreasonable.

Pros

Working with Arcadis was one of the most disappointing professional experiences I’ve had. The culture is deeply fractured — collaboration is rare, and backstabbing is more common than teamwork. Communication is almost non-existent, with most people working behind non existent cameras from messy, unprofessional home setups ( sometimes i wondered to myself what crack is my colleague smoking today to come up with this attitude). You’re often left feeling isolated, with little support or visibility into who you’re even working with.

Cons

There’s a performative tone to the way things are run, but behind the scenes, it’s disorganized and disconnected. Leadership feels more interested in maintaining internal cliques than driving actual innovation. Despite the image they try to present externally, the organization is behind in both technology and mindset. It’s not surprising that clients are starting to walk away — after a short time working there, it becomes clear why. The culture doesn’t just lack support; it actively drains motivation.
