What is working from home like at Arup?

There are still good people left who are passionate in what they do. Generally more flexibility to work from home and other offices than other companies. 401K matching in generous.

Leadership buries their head in the sand about how unhappy junior staff are. Pressure to win work steadily increasing on mid-level staff. Leadership seemingly is not held accountable. Layoff sting to teams still evident years later. Recruiting is slow. Mid-level staff are overworked by leadership and undersupported by junior staff who aren’t adequately trained or invested in. Health care options are abysmal. Profit-sharing has been consistently described as being an important part of compensation and has been recently been seriously underdelivering. Focus has shifted from a place that felt like it was investing in staff’s well-being and growth to only the bottom line.

- The financial team in the New York City office is small, but everyone was willing to help with any questions I had. - A lot of flexibility to work from home since my team only came into the office twice a week. With that being said, if you’ve never been to New York City, you can use those WFH days to work from a nice coffee shop near Bryant Park or Central Park, like most interns did. - They assign you to actual projects, allowing you to gain real-world experience and take initiative on calls with PMs and PDs. - There is always work to do, no matter what. Sometimes tasks can be completed quickly, while other days, they may take longer. - The senior leaders in the finance team are incredibly kind and genuinely invested in your success, both at Arup and in your future career. - There is only one finance intern role in the NYC office, so you get hands-on experience and full exposure to various financial tasks. - The intern pay for this role is okay, but it's important to remember that this is an engineering consulting firm. After talking to other interns, I realized that the pay is actually pretty good compared to other companies. For the non-technical side, intern pay was $30 per hour, while for the technical side, like engineering interns, it ranged from $32 to $35 per hour, depending on whether they were pursuing a BA or MA.

- I wish I had been told during the final phase of the interview process that there wasn't a return offer in the finance team. I was caught off guard at the end of the summer when HR reached out to me and informed me that there was no return offer for this position, as you have to be a level 4 employee to work in the finance sector of the company. I was offered a chance to work in the cost consulting sector, but the pay in NYC for a full-time role wasn't worth it. Had I known this beforehand, I might have considered another opportunity with a company that guaranteed me a full-time position for the summer role I was interning for. That being said, look at all your options and choose wisely what you want to do.
