Pros

Opportunity to work with Fortune 500 clients. Work with global teams.

Cons

Culture of secrecy and nepotism. Relocation is reserved for "senior managers on the fast track". Horrendous time management by project managers. Lots of 80 hour weeks for salaried employees. Recognition for hours billed, not for effectiveness. They prefer to hire new graduates with no experience so they can pay them the lowest wages possible. Very high turnover rates of employees with less than five years. Rivers of alcohol served at new employee orientation. They prefer to win contracts and clients with gifts, food, and alcohol, lavish entertainment, good old boy network, and hiring competitor's project managers.

Pros

The only pro about Arcadis is that they offer remote work.

Cons

- Billable hours that will stress you out - “Raises” that don’t keep with with inflation - MICROMANAGEMENT at ALL levels - Zero trust of employees - Project Managers who do not promote within reasonable time frames like other companies - Project Managers who don’t stand up for their employees - Project Managers who just…don’t care about their team and only care about themselves and their billable hours - A lot of after hours work to meet deadlines due to unorganized project managers
