Pros
I have seen ARCADIS weather some storms in down-turned markets with creative thinking and good strategy in the past. Many employees have been very loyal and put their heart and soul into making the company great. We have good benefits and salary is equivalent to peer companies.
Cons
Profit margins have been flat, but still showing a profit and yet senior leads and technical experts have been laid off during several culls this year. A new re-organization last week resulted in another round of layoffs without any consideration of how clients would be affected. Many of the leads that were laid off have strong client relationships that will dissolve without them. Difficult to remain positive and employee retention will be a serious challenge. The new management says 'people' are the most important but actions speak otherwise. It's about the bottom line. Be very scared if you are not entry level and behind on any financial goals.
