Demanding, but rewarding environment

Pros

I really like the people I work with -- some are really great; most are really smart. ARCADIS also rewards those employees who contribute effectively. It has some great development programs for young professionals and more senior ones.

Cons

Culture has been poorly defined as we've grown so much by acquisition. Previously, the only way to describe the culture was 'performance-oriented', but that seems to be turning around. Performance, however, is still the main driver and criteria for success here. We could also use development programs for our mid-level staff.

Pros

Great benefits, compensation was above average even for entry level.

Cons

Personal growth is rather limited if you have a necessary niche skill/knowledge. Management is a nightmare to deal with, especially if you need an answer or results. Communication is absolutely terrible. I felt as though I was merely a number. This organization looks for someone to follow them blindly, it was almost as though I was made to feel like I had insulted a superior for trying to offer input on how to improve a process or protocol.

Pros

Good challenging projects - people work extremely hard at the coal face. Does the work that their Clients should be able to do but lack the skills in.

Cons

Narcissistic, self important, often inept Partners who get young graduates to do their work for them and contribute very little. Fake private school accents.
