Pros

Arcadis gives employees the opportunity to be involved in large and interesting top tier projects. Coworkers are generally highly competent and not competitive. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Expectations are high for new hires and recent graduates. Morale has suffered from corporate belt tightening - the budget for social events is low to non existant.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, great company, great team Flexible with working remotely Refocusing marketing function on more strategic and modern initiatives vs. the same old tactics as the past 50 years

Cons

Lots of reorganization and turnover in recent years Organization doesn't understand and is generally not supportive (yet) of modern marketing so it's very challenging. Salary and titles have not been updated to reflect higher levels of responsibility and expertise required for new marketing focus, and are not competitive with similar positions in other industries and firms
