Great company to join

Senior talent acquisition specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly, team-oriented and collaborative culture. Positive and professional environment. Open and honest communication. A global company that feels like a small company by the way they treat their employees with respect, understanding, and compassion.

Cons

Because we're a global company, there is a LOT of information to absorb when you first get started. Everyone gets a bit overwhelmed when they join Arup, but we know that and adjust expectations accordingly. That's the trade-off of working for a large, international company but the benefit is that you have so many opportunities to learn and advance.
