Pros

Good benefits including a great employee stock purchase program Pretty flexible with work scheduling and time off, and the option of purchasing additional time off. I was satisfied with my salary and benefits.

Cons

Being billable to a project is EVERYTHING at Arcadis, little else matters. Each year you must complete on-line Harassment Training and Safe Driving programs (even if you don't drive a vehicle for company duties) which, of course, are non-billable tasks. In the years I worked there I NEVER ONCE heard the word "Teamwork", or heard anyone mention doing quality work. Arcadis cultivates an environment of "you against them", and rewards backstabbing and lying. I was told that I failed to understand that everyone there was an "Internal Client", not co-workers.

Pros

Nice people to work with, good work environment, good family-life balance

Cons

Management consistently overlooks hard workers, promotes dead wood and non-contributors; needs to expand vacation to employees, too many burnouts from overwork/40 hr+ work weeks.
