Arcadis Australia Pacific Reviews

The graduate program is a minimum of 2 years, after which you can be promoted to a consultant level. Levels are clearly staged moving from graduate, to consultant, senior consultant, then principal consultant. Management opportunities are available at the senior level.

The company has a few projects, such as the Arcadis Shelter Program which aims to improve sustainable development in rapidly growing urban areas across the globe. Most projects are on a global scale. The Australian sector of the company has a Reconciliation Action Plan which is currently being implemented.

Arcadis has the best company culture I have ever experienced in all the jobs I have worked in. Everyone is extremely friendly and happy lend a hand or provide advice if required. I find senior consultants, project managers and team managers extremely friendly and approachable. I have really enjoyed the social events organised by both the company and the graduate committee and have found it a great way to get to know others outside of my direct team.

I love how there is a HUGE amount of diversity within my office, I love how it is not just white guys. We also have a LGBTQI team solely focused on matters pertaining to this group which is something that needs to be focused on

The tasks are well explained by our leaders. They allow us enough time to learn through the work and is always there to help out.

The management is great at Arcadis. The management team is diverse, with a strong people-first mindset. Quarterly check-ins are scheduled to discuss feedback for both yourself and for you to give to management.

Convenient location (in the CBD) - plenty of amenities (showers, cafe, coffee machine) Dress code = smart casual (I often wear dress pants, sneakers and a casual t-shirt to work).

The interview process consisted of three stages - a video interview, a group interview and an individual interview with the team that Arcadis believes you would be best suited to (based on your passions and studies).

Salary is very competitive, so I have no issues with that.

Arcadis requires employees to complete induction training when they first start. They also have a program for learning more about the company and different aspects of the business where they are trying to focus on/improve. After completing that training, the company offers the opportunity to participate in a multi-day workshop, which has previously taken participants to locations around the world.

The company is very flexible as they allow me to work from home or in the office and I enjoy doing bit of balance. The typical working hours are also great.

Arcadis has a big focus on being environmentally friendly and reducing their footprint. The companies logo is that of a Fire Salamander, which require a well-balanced eco-system to thrive.
