Pros

Arup is a fantastic company to work for. Exciting projects, intelligent colleagues and great benefits.

Cons

If you get placed under the wrong manager, your career is doomed! My manager was a woman hating Brit, and others, seeing his treatment, offered to transfer me to their group. He wouldn't have it. And management wouldn't do anything about it since he was a favored son.
