Pros

A once great place to work for, acquired by ARCADIS US, now defunct brand.

Cons

Upper management sold out brand and employees for stocks and money. Veteran managers took buyouts and left. New managers are in power grab for themselves. Managers are using ARCADIS as scapegoat to thin out the employees. First massive terminations, they call layoffs, in company history in 2011. Veteran employees are being forced out through low to no raises and pressure to work uncompensated to be more billable while being told company is not performing well. New, younger employees are promoted too fast without experience or mentors and given glowing reports of company performance.
