Good company, Good opportunities

Pros

Company touches many projects worldwide that benefit not only the environment but the infrastructure that they serve.

Cons

I see no cons working for this company. The opportunities are vast if you're willing to travel. If travel is not for you, you should be in a large population center where they have a presence.

Pros

I have seen ARCADIS weather some storms in down-turned markets with creative thinking and good strategy in the past. Many employees have been very loyal and put their heart and soul into making the company great. We have good benefits and salary is equivalent to peer companies.

Cons

Profit margins have been flat, but still showing a profit and yet senior leads and technical experts have been laid off during several culls this year. A new re-organization last week resulted in another round of layoffs without any consideration of how clients would be affected. Many of the leads that were laid off have strong client relationships that will dissolve without them. Difficult to remain positive and employee retention will be a serious challenge. The new management says 'people' are the most important but actions speak otherwise. It's about the bottom line. Be very scared if you are not entry level and behind on any financial goals.

ANOTHER round of layoffs!

Pros

Pay and benefits tend to be good....but there appears to be a new trend of laying off experienced folks that make more money and hiring college grads to shift labor costs downward.

Cons

OMG. I used to be that they would reorganize every year. Now it's every six months....literally. Recent reorg reverts the environmental division back to what it was 3 years ago. Many of the recently promoted ops team members that were interviewed and promoted 7 months ago for the "new" organization were laid off as sacrificial lambs laid on the altar for the latest reorganization.
