Arup reviews

Overall good compensation package, salary + benefits + profit share People are terrific, everyone helps everyone and means it. Interesting projects amidst others that pay the bills. While this is a large firm (17,000+ world-wide), it has a small-company feel. Training of 40 hours is allotted to every employee, some mandatory but rest is enriching. Company structure is unique to any I've worked in. Held in trust, not beholden to shareholders. Employee-owned in the sense that everyone has allotted shares by proxy by which profit sharing is distributed. Not stock per se, but the same outcome. a sense of ownership. Employees are called, "members" and everyone is valued. Office vibe is relaxed in general. Different discipline members sit next to each other to promote cross-pollenation of ideas and how each does their thing. If a person joins as an engineer in one segment, (say design) but seeks to focus or refocus on others, such as sustainability, energy, such shifting is encouraged, Members become more versatile and this helps everyone.

I have worked at Arup for almost 10 years and you won’t find any better challenges on the variety of projects anywhere else. Great opportunity to learn and great culture.
