Pros

Nice colleagues Flat organization A lot of knowledge sharing though everyone is busy Culture generally ok Office is nice and easily accessible via public transport

Cons

Non competitive pay (always refer remuneration to working on good projects with good people) - job satisfaction is job satisfaction if it doesn’t pay the bills Working hours can get long (I believe it’s the same everywhere in this industry) Low/no bonus recently, so low pay Promotion is subjective to department and criteria seem to change freely depending on management

Pros

Working at Arup was a great experience, surrounded by smart, motivated, and mission-driven peers.

Cons

This may have since improved, but at least previously, the America's region felt rather second-class compared to UK. Most/all senior leadership, even in the US, was British.

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
