Business Outlook

Pros

Talented colleagues, truly tops in their fields.

Cons

ARCADIS has grown too quickly through acquisition. It has caused inter-corporate communication challenges. Some operating groups compete directly with their counterparts rather than combining and working toward a common goal. This also has created a highly politicized environment that ultimately may create issues.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers (working group, office environment); flexible hours; decent benefits; lack of geographic boundaries meant plenty of networking and project opportunities for the motivated staffer; interesting work; company maintained momentum through the economic downturn.

Cons

Aggressive billable goals detracted from project quality and led to some dramatic burnouts. Frequent neglect of smaller, innovative offerings in favor of unwieldy big $ projects. Some clear geographic differences in advancement opportunities, and overall lack of advancement opportunities for primarily technical staff (salaries not matching skill and responsibility level). Slow trimming of deadwood.
