Good work life balance. Diverse culture

Never recommend this consultancy
Consultant (Former Employee) - Greater London - 14 June 2023
Sold a dream and left a fantastic job to be developed and promoted. Been here 6 months and they play politics. Stating the work was fab and then behind my back soft balling and constantly emailing complaining. Lack of support. Ruined my health and wellbeing.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
EVERY ONE for their own

Variety of projects but too much focus on utilisation
Senior Project Manager (Consultant) (Former Employee) - UK - 14 September 2021
A business stuck in the past on every level. Neverending IT issues. Death by bureaucracy, diversity issues (to be fair they are trying to address), cynicism and discrimination is the norm. Low salary, no decent bonuses. Inadequate leadership, out of touch, high turnover, patchy handovers. Contrived presentation, what you see is not what you get.
Pros
Pension
Cons
Low work ethic, absence of team spirit. Favouritism

Enjoyed every minute
Appointed Person / Site Supervisor (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 15 June 2021
Amazing people and amazing support. There is always help whenever needed. A great work ethic with all emphasis on taking care of their own. I would never leave given half the chance.

Location dependent
Consultant (Former Employee) - London North, Greater London - 8 June 2021
If you are lucky enough to work in a regional office then life at Arcadis can be rewarding. However the London office is a completely different experience. Highly competitive and run by Directors and Partners who play by their own rules and ignore Arcadis principles. It’s essentially a body shop regime based on a 95% fee earning utilisation rate to ensure the senior staff receive their bonus. Don’t expect to be given assignments that match your skill set. You also need to check your contract of employment because if it states that their policies are non-contractual then they can easily fire you if your face doesn’t fit.
Pros
None
Cons
Fee earning body shop
