I applied online. I interviewed at Arcadis (Birmingham, England) in Jun 2022
Interview
Good face to face. No day session which was great. Pleasant people. OK location. HR was bit odd but OK overall. Both senior people in my team. There was a preliminary phone call with HR, followed by a call from an interviewer, the good cop, then interview face to face with the good ad bad cop together, but bad cop was pretty good person although they tried to be the focus of the difficult technical questions.

was nice and fluid, very straight forward. Start off with a psychometric test, then a phone interview, then assessment centre, then final interview 90 mins long assessing some job specific skills.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arcadis (New York, NY) in Oct 2023
Interview
An hour long with just one person, the interviewer discussed what the job responsibilities would be and I answered a few easy questions about my experience. \ It was an ok experience but I realized that the job description did not match the job they were offering. When asked about it, they said that I was more suited for the other role, which is a role that I didn't want. The ole switcheroo. However, the salary they offered was way below market rate so I declined.
Thanks so much for your review. We are sorry to hear this did not lead to you joining our team but appreciate your feedback. At Arcadis we factor in the current market as well as additional factors when determining salary and reevaluate this multiple times throughout the year.
