Pros

Good healthcare benefits, majority of work is remote

Cons

At EHS IT , IDP, consulting arm of Arcadis, you either bill ft hours or be kicked out. While you are working on projects full time , you must line up future billable work. You have to constantly upsell yourself to senior management to get future work . It is like working for yourself , constantly worrying to get future work , but on salary. It is exhausting. No one cares about providing tools to do work efficiently. Arcadis IDP uses Excel and free open source programming tools , that you have to learn on your own, to get your work done. Investment in work software tools for consultants is non existent. Arcadis hires a lot of foreign H1Bs, that are pressured to work long hours to keep their jobs and visa status . They are also paid a fraction of US IT pros . Good luck asking for a raise when half of your tech workforce wiling to work for less. Company heavily emphasized the teamwork. Please be aware . They laid off half of their consultant workforce during pandemic. No mercy, to protect the balance sheet.
