Pros

Arcadis gives employees the opportunity to be involved in large and interesting top tier projects. Coworkers are generally highly competent and not competitive. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Expectations are high for new hires and recent graduates. Morale has suffered from corporate belt tightening - the budget for social events is low to non existant.
