Arcadis reviews

Where to begin ...... continued downslide in moral and company performance due to tone-deaf management trying to apply management consulting practices to a professional services organization . En masse departure of top experienced talent continues unabated without anyone being replaced. Operational paralysis continues due to revolving door of marginal leaders put in positions not suited to their skill set or the level of maturity or business acumen required for such positions . Inwardly focused technical group leadership focused on internal politics, self promotion , and assuaging massive egos while talented and intelligent staff observe these poor behaviors .Constant yet ineffective messaging to staff not supported by reality , essentially placing staff in the awkward postition of having to justify the ongoing turmoil to the clients they serve . Quite an embarassment watching a once venerable Firm continue to implode in such a manner .

I'm actually surprised this company still exists. The new management started down a road and did not communicate 1. the changes they wanted to make; 2. the reason they wanted to make these changes and 3. how they were going to make the changes as painless as possible. So no one really knew what was going on until the change was already upon them - no change management or preparation for anyone. It was very difficult to live through this. And in the meantime, the good people were being asked to leave or just leaving on their own unhappily. They brought in people from Europe who had NO IDEA how business in the US works, yet they wanted to follow their structure. No questions asked. No discussion allowed.
