Eye opening, and made me realize what type of organization I did *not* want to work for in my next career. - Senior Engineer Arcadis Employee Review

Pros

The compensation is on par with other environmental and civil engineering consulting firms. There are some talented individuals, but the company is going through a signficant "brain drain," via layoffs and voluntary departures.

Cons

Constant acquisitions, with no clear direction on how to integrate individuals into the organization. Definitely an "Old Boys" club - as a female engineer I could tell my advancement was limited by my gender. I received many accolades, good reviews, but clearly you hit a ceiling fairly quickly if you don't fit their "mold" of what they are seeking. I left voluntarily and joined a Co. that respects and rewards my contributions. And diversity on other fronts - Black, Hispanic; non existent.
