Pros

Arup provide great benefits; good work environment; get to work with great people.

Cons

Far too much work, not enough time! There is a massive discrepancy between the training and development opportunities available to technical and non technical staff. Takes a very long time to implement change...

Nice environment, poor pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work in the infrastructure group Overall it is a nice place to work Flexible working hours and no 'hours' culture

Cons

The pay is very poor compared to competitors. Not a good place to come as a graduate(financially) as your pay is less than those who join from other firms who are on the same grade. The midlands office is isolated which makes it difficult to have any office culture. Moving up initially is not based on performance, everyone gets the same salary increase/grade increase no matter how much work you produce.
