Pros

Excellent projects to work on Just having Arup on your CV goes a long way Extremely knowledgable colleagues Nice offices Nice coffee

Cons

Absolutely terrible pay, often new graduates start on higher wages than those that have been there 1 or 2 years No prospect of promotion unless you are one of the chosen few who are picked straight out of university, and usually have parents in high places

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.
