Pros

Quick and ready in working from home, and large propotion of the workers equiped with working remotely. Smaller offices outside of London have a nice family culture built on people.

Cons

I have seen some smart people join and leave, being not understood and no growth in hard skills Whilst those whose face fits rise to management quickly. The trick is to blag, blag and blag. No form of accountability, managers float in and out providing soundbite strategies without any idea of how to deliver. The only reason Arcadis has been sucessful is by the good bidding team, to win large scale projects to fill the pockets for years to come as we dither and underdeliver.
