      Pros

      Arcadis has recently launched a significant initiative to become a skills-powered organization. As with all of its internal programs, it’s well-conceived at a conceptual level and promises substantial long-term benefits, such as reduced bias in the hiring process, increased employee engagement and retention, and an expanded talent pool. A real opportunity to build lasting careers.

      Cons

      However, the reality does not align with the narrative. Since the program's launch at the beginning of the year (and the recent social media promotion), five senior leadership positions have been awarded to individuals based on long service, with no transparency about the selection process. Roles were not advertised, instead they relied on the hiring managers network. This missed opportunity for the very top of the organisation to lead by example undermines the organization's commitment to being truly skills-powered. It's challenging to see how longevity of service can be equated with a valuable skillset without clear process transparency and candidates skill comparison.

      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.
