-Being a well known company, it wins good clients, and interesting projects.
-Great people to work with.
-Fairly good grad program.
Cons
-Industry is being pressed by lower costs of labour overseas (e.g. outsourcing drafting and design engineering work). Arup is affected by this.
-Pay is possibly below some of the smaller, rapidly growing, boutique firms.
One of the best organisations to ply your trade. Innovative approach to solving real world problems is always encouraged: Sir Ove Arup's inspiring key speech is very much alive there.
Cons
It's a large organisation and hence there's a red tape which sometimes represents are a time gap in processing of nontechnical matters.
