Pros

- Nothing unique - Wages are reasonable - Global company so worldwide opportunities exist by default

Cons

- A careless board unwilling to admit their mistakes and failings - "Talk the talk" but don't and cant deliver what they say they do. They are slaves to utilisation like every company in consulting. That's fine, we get it. Don't pretend to care. - "Arcadis way" One way of working? This is good because....... I guess it will make it easier when the people are replaced by robots if they are already acting like robots. - The worst HR teams and delivery I have ever experienced - Incompetent, overpaid leadership - Consistently poor financial performance. Inability to deliver to shareholders and market

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
