Great experience, not so great company

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Absolutely some of the brightest people in the industry. Great projects and mentors for honing your specialized skill set. No problems getting the right specialized software to do the job. Pay is in-line and the benefits are slightly above average.

Cons

You feel like an independent consultant lobbying internally to maintain your billable workload. There is no workload planning, so you have to constantly take on too much work to make sure you meet billable goals. There is little cross-training, so what you were hired to do is what you will do everyday. You see your supervisor once a year during annual reviews. The office culture is bleak and slightly depressing. Hard to describe, but just not a happy place to work.

Ok experience, but they're driven to succeed at any cost

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Worked on many different projects with some really bright and friendly co-workers. A good place to gain experience if you're just starting out.

Cons

Senior management is all politics and profits. ARCADIS' primary focus is on the next company it can acquire, meeting billable metrics and grabbing opportunities.

Driven by today's profit margin

Area manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Good overall compensation and bonus. Medical insurance benefits better than most. Some great fellow employees and friends from BBL.

Cons

A constant utilization pressure. Constant layoffs due to acquisitions, reorganizations, and profit motivation. Very short term perspective. Will need to continue to acquire firms to be successful, because they cannot maintain a sustainable profitable business the way they operate.
