Vantaggi
The company has some great and talented people and some great clients and projects. This is a good place for someone with less experience to gain a wide breadth of experience, as long as they are willing to work long hours and be on the road a lot. The company is pretty well-managed and has many talented professionals that help win high-margin work. They are proud of being an "aggressive" consulting business.
Svantaggi
The company has a lot of older, highly educated and experienced professionals that makes the organization top heavy and requires high billing rates and depends on the higher margin staff to be highly utilized and work a lot of overtime to support the structure. The company also needs to win BIG projects to sustain this internal structure. The company is very internally competitive. Lack of cooperation and to some extent back-stabbing is tolerated. Information is hoarded amongst management and creates a strange culture of unease amongst the staff, especially in an uncertain economic climate. There have been a lot of new acquisitions by ARCADIS and how those companies assimilate into the culture will be a challenge.
