Arcadis reviews

Billability expectations are unrealistic and are calculated based on overall hours - in many cases, requiring employees to work significant amounts of overtime or forego earned vacation time. The management, at least where I worked, are so focused on meeting week-to-week numbers targets that they neglect the long-term needs of the business, laying off key staff and cutting off opportunities for long-term growth. A large percentage of the best and brightest in the water division have either left or been laid off, almost negating the purpose of the Pirnie acquisition. I have personally noted that at least one person has been let go just prior to their work anniversary and ostensibly given less severance pay as a result. Eventually, the work environment got so bad that I had to leave. I was told when I was there the grass isn't necessarily greener on the outside - but my experience, and that of many others I have known, is that it certainly can be.

Due to our location there is a lot of travel.
