Good Intentions - Corporate Philosophy is Excellent, the Reality of Billability Requirements can be Dismaying

Project scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent projects. The company really attempts to recruit high end talent and offer innovative approaches to remediation science and engineering. Can be easy to work in many locations in the US and abroad, and persue professional interests. Company encourages and supports professional development and continuing education and training. Easy to relocate between offices or work from an employee desired home base.

Cons

Like many large concerns, the goals for employee support for family and professional development are often overstated. A rosy picture is subsumed by the bottom line of very high billability requirements.

Another major engineering conglomerate run by management for the benefit of management

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good reputation. Some staff are highly qualified and are indeed leaders in the field which provides opportunity (does not guarantee) to develop. Clients regard Arcadis as a good company. Will enhance your resume.

Cons

In reality just another major engineering conglomerate to whom billable hours is the whole bailywick and who bow to the vagaries of the stock market. Large publically owned engineering conglomerates like Arcadis have confused and compromised professionalism with commercial objectives when in fact both can be achieved.

Work schedule is flexible most of the time, upper management is very supportive of taking time for yourself as long as you're getting your work done, the work is generally not challenging, occasional field work is usually fun

Cons

Pay is unsatisfactory, opportunities for advancement are bureaucratic and regimented, little to no reward for doing a good job, work isn't challenging
