Pros

Can't really think of any except some people are really hard workers, the ones that are never recognized for their skills and the ones that have the Vice President take credit for their work. The company benefits are equal to other engineering firms, nothing impressive.

Cons

The company does not care what goes on in the offices, they just care about meeting your chargeable goals and getting jobs. Such a shame, good employees are leaving everyday and nothing changes. Unprofessional and low moral atmosphere.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are really the best...colleagues, support staff, management...if you take the time to build your personal networks and take personal responsibility to gather information you need, you can be very successful and satisfied. I have yet to find anyone unwilling to talk to me or give me information or support. In my experience, management (individual and as a group) genuinely care about the staff and the company, but may not always have the time to communicate to each individual or the power to make significant changes for that individual when they must consider the total population and equalizing performance and reward systems.

Cons

Like any growing company today with a responsibility to shareholders, business metrics are demanding and high pressure environment is everwhere, every day. However, unless you have some kind of dream job somewhere, I don't think it is that different than any other economically challenged company with productivity requirements to make the bottom line. Like many companies, ARCADIS is what you make of it. If you go in with a negative attitude, or don't take charge of creating a rewarding experience doing everything you can yourself, you'll be very unhappy here or anywhere.
