Pros

Can be a great educational experience depending on your group and your mindset. Flexible working environment and the ability to drop into any office throughout the world. You have the freedom to create a pursue a specialty, but may not get support or acknowledgement form senior staff.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. Benefits are standard, despite the company stating otherwise. Lack of support for any field outside of structural, mechanical engineering.

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.
