Pros

Coming into a team setting after graduating college can be overwhelming sometimes, but not here at Arup. Everyone you meet, regardless of their job title, wants you to truly succeed and will do everything in their power to make that happen. I have never felt more comfortable to ask for help when I need it, and I think having the ability to question things is one of the reasons we are so successful as a firm. There is a reason that most of the senior staff members have remained with the company for the majority of their careers!

Cons

If you don't come into the office at least 3 times a week your "permanent" desk will be converted to a "hoteling" desk.

Pros

Your graduate cohort provides a group to comfortably explore all disciplines within the company and make early connections to your peers. The work itself often has variety and interest that rounds out your experience early on and keeps you interested in the work you do. Arup has a relatively "flat" leadership structure which means you are able to connect and communicate with all levels of leadership and there is a similar level of transparency between all grade levels.

Cons

With a very European-style company structure, there are some instances where it is difficult to advocate for yourself as an individual sitting within the company hierarchy. Progress between grades becomes a focus for many employees as it is exclusively tied to pay and bonuses and this sometimes leads individuals to overlook the responsibilities tied to each level, having a negative impact on professional development.
