Pros

Benefits are good, projects are interesting, lots of great people to collaborate with

Cons

NY does not carry as many Arup values known overseas. Promotion system is not clear cut and transparent - it also feels unfair. Just an observation as a white male - not many females in management positions. Most of the women that have grown and been promoted within the firm do not have families. There are no non-white women at principal (highest) level either and not many non-white males at the highest level.

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.
