IBI -> Arcadis 'take over' is disastrous

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

IBI lifers - some are still here trying to keep it together

Cons

EVERYTHING. Nothing is better since the acquisition. ERP = Oracle disaster IT = they have NO PROCESS for ordering a MAC and people have been waiting over 6 months for a new machine Sales = took the 'seller / doer' model and tried to drop in sales people who are clueless. FAIL Pay = 3.5% MAX increase per year. regardless of whether your biz unit did better than everyone else. etc. etc. etc.

Don’t Believe the ‘People First’ Hype!

Senior engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working…..and that’s it !

Cons

Poor senior management in Rail with no clear direction and failure to adapt to changing market conditions. Disconnected offices and lack of collaboration. It’s such a large organisation that some senior management don’t even have a clue what your role is! Ridiculously complex promotion processes. Senior management and HR not interested in resolving grievances. Company are absolutely obsessed with ‘billabilty’ Very aggressive and questionable redundancy processes.
