Long hours and competition

Pros

Great Benefits. Learn a lot. Good atmosphere for the most part with select people. Depending on your position, you might be able to travel for work, or even go out of the country for 1-2 years.

Cons

Too much competition. These are young and smart minds that feel a lot of entitlement to everything. Long hours with little pay. Expect to work 50-60 hrs a week for entry level. You have to leave and come back to make more money here. Principles make anywhere up to $450K a year, these are people that came from the outside. Depending on who your supervisor is, you might like or dislike coming into work. If you are applying for Facilities, IT, Media team, you are everyone else's work horse. The Americas organization of Arup is always strapped for cash, so don't expect a big pay raise.

A well known company that has designed some of the most iconic building in the world, the london eye, Sydney opera house, the birds nest and water cube for the Olympics.

Cons

Poor Leadership, the upper management sits in a bubble and does not care about happens in the field organization, The COO is clueless about what happens in the rest of the businesses especially in HR
