Pros

Good healthcare benefits, majority of work is remote

Cons

At EHS IT , IDP, consulting arm of Arcadis, you either bill ft hours or be kicked out. While you are working on projects full time , you must line up future billable work. You have to constantly upsell yourself to senior management to get future work . It is like working for yourself , constantly worrying to get future work , but on salary. It is exhausting. No one cares about providing tools to do work efficiently. Arcadis IDP uses Excel and free open source programming tools , that you have to learn on your own, to get your work done. Investment in work software tools for consultants is non existent. Arcadis hires a lot of foreign H1Bs, that are pressured to work long hours to keep their jobs and visa status . They are also paid a fraction of US IT pros . Good luck asking for a raise when half of your tech workforce wiling to work for less. Company heavily emphasized the teamwork. Please be aware . They laid off half of their consultant workforce during pandemic. No mercy, to protect the balance sheet.

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
