Pros

it is a great place to work with excellent people. I have gained an incredible amount of experience and I have enjoyed a wide variety of work

Cons

the work itself can be bad as it oscillates from periods of extreme business to periods of complete quietness. The worst part of this is that no one can predict when the work will increase or drop off.

Pros

Working at Arup was a great experience, surrounded by smart, motivated, and mission-driven peers.

Cons

This may have since improved, but at least previously, the America's region felt rather second-class compared to UK. Most/all senior leadership, even in the US, was British.

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
