Pros

Can be a great educational experience depending on your group and your mindset. Flexible working environment and the ability to drop into any office throughout the world. You have the freedom to create a pursue a specialty, but may not get support or acknowledgement form senior staff.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. Benefits are standard, despite the company stating otherwise. Lack of support for any field outside of structural, mechanical engineering.

Pros

Working at Arup was a great experience, surrounded by smart, motivated, and mission-driven peers.

Cons

This may have since improved, but at least previously, the America's region felt rather second-class compared to UK. Most/all senior leadership, even in the US, was British.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
