      Pros

      good variety pays set rate for overtime on salary positions. Starting PTO 3 weeks

      Cons

      0 training for new hires. expected to figure it out yourself. quickly thrown into high responsibility situations. the Role of management for lower grades (g5) constantly shuffling between multiple people who are all brand new to a Management role. issues with proper communication and documentation of field work. issues with proper preparations, planning, and and database management, general orginization. "point the finger" type culture when issues arise. Lack of checks and balances. individual project teams are run in an hierarchical manner. no work life balance. inconsistent scheduling. Resource management all around poor. If you start as a fieldworker, expect to be working mainly with individuals 22-26 years old who vary widely in their ability to complete the basic functions of the job. Turnover rate is astronomical. pay is low compared to offerings from other companies

      Thank you for review, we appreciate you taking time to let us know what you enjoyed and what you felt could be improved upon. Our PTO and employee work life balance is very important to our company culture and we take pride it the diversity of projects we offer our employees to work on. We are surprised to see you did not have a positive mentorship experience as this is usually an area we are very strong in. If you are comfortable we would love to know more about your experience if you would like to email contact-us@arcadis.com

      Pros

      The people and the work we do.

      Cons

      None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
